Home / 2023 / Morocco and Spain - Autumn 2023 / Rabat Tanger Kenitra Fès - 1 October 2023 17

Sunday 1st October 2023 Starting the day, before it gets too hot, by covering the Rabat-Salé tram route extensions opened since I was last in Morocco in 2013. Then by high speed train to Tanger and back to Kenitra (there's a flying junction north of Kenitra); and finally on to overnight in Fès. Morocco's 320 km/h high speed railway (the only such in Africa) appears to be very successful with the trains being well loaded on a basically hourly service between Casa and Tanger. The fully-loaded twin double-deck set from Tanger to Kenitra showed at last 310 km/h on its internal display, so I've now travelled faster by train in Africa than I have in the United Kingdom.
