Morocco has a modern & reliable rail network; trains run from Tangier to Marrakech but you can start at any location with any route combination.
START - Tangier / FINISH - Marrakech
Activity code: MOHO06
Duration: 8 Days
A more interesting and environmentally responsible way to visit this fascinating country. Morocco's railway network has been systematically updated to offer Africa's first truly high speed trains, providing a comfortable and reliable service with new and pleasant stations awaiting you in many cities. This holiday itinerary makes the most of the current network although we can offer any reasonable combination of journeys and locations. In our experience this is an ideal holiday option for those arriving from Spain or combining Morocco with Andalucia (in either direction).
Our Marrakech Express package is an ideal choice if you who wish to experience the contrast between Morocco's many historic cities; travelling by train offers a fabulous insight into the day to day culture of modern Morocco as well as its famous past and does, of course, come with a much smaller carbon footprint...
Important Information
City Tours include an English-speaking guide, all transport and entry fees to historic monuments; followed by an exploration of the souks and focal points of the medinas.
