Al Atlas Trains, Moroccan Railways and High Speed Trains
Al Atlas trains are the popular trains operated by ONCF — Morocco's national railway — connecting cities including Fes, Casablanca, and Marrakech. Built on French colonial rail foundations, Moroccan railways offer first class (air conditioning, reserved seats, generous legroom) and second class (spacious carriages, plenty of luggage space, no air conditioning). All Al Atlas trains have bathrooms and snacks on board. Morocco also operates high speed trains — the Al Boraq TGV between Tangier and Casablanca — as part of ONCF's ongoing effort to modernize train travel across the country.
Best Way to Travel from Fes to Marrakech — Train vs Car
The train is the best way to travel from Fes to Marrakech for most passengers. Taking a car covers the distance in around 4.5–5 hours, but the train offers comfortable seats, stunning views of Morocco's landscapes, onboard snacks, and no driving fatigue — a far better experience for a long trip. Alternatively, a long-distance bus is a cheap option but is slower and less comfortable. Trains arrive at Marrakech station on Avenue Mohammed VI, with Jemaa el Fnaa just 15–20 minutes by taxi — a perfect end point for exploring Marrakesh.
