🚕 Getting around in Morocco

Getting around Morocco is one of the first things you figure out as a visitor or expat. Taxis, metro lines, buses and the unwritten rules locals follow shape your daily routine more than any guidebook.

In Morocco, getting around comes down to a few things: petit taxis within cities, grand taxis between cities, and train system works well.

Petit taxis within cities

Small colored taxis (different colors by city — red in Fes, blue in Rabat) do short trips. Insist on the meter. If they refuse, find another. Fares are cheap — most rides under 20 MAD.

Grand taxis between cities

Shared Mercedes sedans that leave when full (6 passengers). Cheap, fast, and an experience. You can buy extra seats for comfort.

Train system works well

ONCF trains connect major cities. The new Al Boraq high-speed train does Casablanca to Tangier in 2 hours. Book at the station or online.
