Public transit, airports, and getting around

Morocco boasts a rapidly evolving transportation landscape with Africa's first high-speed rail (Al Boraq) connecting Tangier and Casablanca, an extensive 57,000 km road network (60% paved), and ambitious expansions in highways, trams, and rail by 2040. Key strengths include modern highways and growing urban public transport in cities like Casablanca and Rabat, while challenges persist in rural connectivity and traffic congestion. With 43 airports including 18 major ones, residents and visitors enjoy diverse mobility options: reliable trains for intercity travel, buses and trams locally, and car rentals on the right-hand side.
