ROUTE
The fastest option is to change trains in the town of Sidi Kacem, however when doing this there is always a small risk involved, of missing your connection.
The departure times below are based on direct services, where changing trains is not required
IMPORTANT INFO:
As we are travelling during Ramadan it is important to be aware that the usual on-board food and beverage services will not be operating during the day - ergo, we must bring our own drinks and snacks with us for the 4-5 hour journey.

*Please note that the exact schedules for May 2017 have not yet been released and may not be until 6-8 weeks prior to travel. If different or additional trains become available the times above will be adjusted to reflect this.
