Our trips on the Morocco train network




This map shows our travels in Morocco, in red on the train network, and in yellow on a tour van.

The thin black lines show the segments we have missed:


  1. To the coast in the south, to Safi, which does not have enough to warrant a long ride.
  2. To the east to Wad Zam, but there might not be passenger service.  (It turns out there is one train a day, and the map of the rail route used a different scheme for turning Arabic into the Latin alphabet, and you need to search the train schedules for Oued Zem, and then you have to take a train that departs at 6 AM, when it runs at all....)
  3. To the far east at Oujda, on the Algerian border (which is closed).  It is a very long haul, and not a lot to see.
We will also get the line to the Casablanca airport, but that's so short you barely see it at this scale.

The area we never got to is the far south, the Anti-Atlas and beyond.  It's a long way, and beyond the reach of the rails.
