TGV Kénitra-Marrakech: a decisive step with the start of rail laying

The high-speed project is moving up a gear. The extension works of the "Al Boraq" line between Kénitra and Marrakech have just reached a symbolic and technical milestone with the official launch of the rail laying.

This is a concrete step forward for this titanic project mobilizing a total envelope of around 82 billion dirhams. Considered as one of the strategic pillars of the modernization of transport in the Kingdom, this section aims to connect the north and center of the country, drastically reducing travel times between the metropolises.

Beyond the technical prowess, which calls upon the most demanding international standards in terms of safety and speed, the expected impact is considerable. Once operational, this line will serve as a lever for economic and tourism dynamics, while offering an ecological and rapid alternative to the road. This extension confirms Morocco’s ambition to provide the country with a first-class rail infrastructure, capable of reshaping the map of national mobility.
