Before you hop on Morocco’s Al Boraq high-speed train, it’s smart to know what you can (and can’t) bring onboard, what facilities are available, and how to travel comfortably.
This guide covers luggage rules, onboard Wi-Fi, seating tips, station advice, and safety guidelines — whether you’re heading from Casablanca to Tangier, Rabat to Casablanca, or any other Al Boraq route.

Luggage Allowance on Al Boraq

Unlike airlines, Al Boraq doesn’t enforce strict baggage limits — just common-sense rules. Passengers may carry:

  • 1 small bag or backpack (hand luggage)
  • 1 medium suitcase or rolling bag
  • 1 personal item (laptop case, handbag, camera bag)

Total recommended weight: under 20–25 kg per person

Storage Areas

  • Overhead racks for small bags.
  • Large luggage zones near each car door.
  • Under-seat space for backpacks and handbags.

Prohibited items: flammables, gas bottles, oversized sports equipment (long boards / bikes over limit).

Wi-Fi & Power Outlets

All Al Boraq trains offer free Wi-Fi, usually fast enough for email and messaging.
Each seat row has electrical outlets (220 V) for charging laptops and phones.

Tip: Bring a universal plug adapter and a portable charger for backup.

Food & Refreshments

  • Mobile trolley service offers snacks, sandwiches, and drinks.
  • You can also bring your own food and water.
  • No alcohol is served onboard.

Before boarding, grab a coffee or croissant from cafés inside stations like Rabat Agdal or Tangier Ville.

Ticket Checks & E-Tickets

  • Conductors scan QR codes from your phone — printing is optional.
  • Keep your ticket handy until arrival.
  • Staff may check tickets again at the exit gate in some stations.
