TRAIN
Train is the most convenient way to arrive in Rabat, as the Rabat Ville train station is right
in the centre of town (not to be confused with Rabat Agdal train station to the west of the
city). The station has a food court and wi-fi, as well as Budget car-rental and Supratours
offices.
Trains run every 30 minutes from 6am to 10.30pm between Rabat Ville and Casa Port
train stations (Dh35, one hour) and Kenitra (Dh10, 30 minutes). Taking the train to Mo-
hammed V International Airport (Dh75, 1½ hours) in Casablanca requires a change at
Casa Voyageurs or at Aïn Sebaa.
