Casablanca Airport train to Marrakech
The Casablanca Airport Train to Marrakech journey does not have to be difficult. But it might just be.
Casablanca Airport is the largest in Morocco. It is a popular port of entry for visitors. Sometimes flights to Morocco are cheaper if you choose Casablanca as your arrival Airport.
Whilst Casablanca Airport is large, it’s size does not compare to that of Heathrow or Madrid. So, if you are familiar with either, you will find Casablanca Airport easy to navigate.
To get the Casablanca Airport Train to Marrakech, you first have to go to the basement of the Airport. This is where the Casablanca Airport Train Station is situated.
Once there, you buy you your tickets. You have to buy two tickets. The first takes you to the local city Train station of Casa Oasis. The second ticket takes you onward to Marrakech. It is also possible to buy your train tickets online.
The cost in total for both tickets combined is 171.00 Moroccan Dirham for 2nd class and 220.00 Moroccan Dirham for 1st class.
I recommend 1st class tickets. The seats in 1st class trains are a bit more comfortable than in 2nd class.
