Qayouh: TGV to link Tangier and Marrakech in 3.5 hours by 2029

Abdel Samad Qayouh, Minister of Transport and Logistics, announced a major strategic project to expand Morocco's high-speed train network, connecting the cities of Kenitra and Marrakech over a distance of 430 kilometers. The project includes investments worth 53 billion dirhams to create a new line and update a fleet of 168 trains, in addition to dedicating 14 billion dirhams to enhance the efficiency of the current network. The line is expected to be operational by the end of 2029, greatly reducing travel times—travel from Tangier to Marrakech will decrease from 6.5 to 3.5 hours, Rabat to Tangier from an hour and fifteen minutes to an hour, and the Mohammed V Airport will be connected to the capital in just 35 minutes.
