Casablanca tour 1st part; train trip from Marrakesh

I arrived 1010H in Casablanca Casa Voyageour station. Totally no idea where to go, I'm surprise there's a tram station just around 20 meters outside the station exit. I checked the map and fortunately enlightened how to spend my remaining hours in Morocco before going to Casablanca airport by 1230H. I stopped-by first to Place de Nation station for a McDo short lunch (free wifi) then went back to tram station to continue my tram escapade to the last station, Casablanca's corniche. Photography and video taking is permitted.

Casablanca, may be the cosmopolitan, industrial and economic heart of Morocco (and its largest city), but it is one of the less endearing in the country. With a small, unassuming medina and a traffic-congested ville nouvelle, travellers arriving via Casablanca may be tempted to find the first train out to nearby Rabat. The awe-inspiring Hassan II Mosque and happening nightlife, however, are worth at least a day of your Moroccan itinerary.

Ouarzazate tour last part; going back to Marrakesh

I booked my ticket a day before my intended schedule. From Jemaa Square, I took bus #8 going to Marrakesh train station which has around 15 minutes travel time, fare costs only 4MAD ($0.50). I chose 0655H Marrakesh departure arriving in Casablanca Casa Voyageour train station at 1010H, a 3 hours travel time with no stops. Train departure from Marrakesh has every 2 hours interval, fare costs 90MAD ($11.11) for 2nd class seat.

Rail transport in Morocco is operated by the ONCF. The main network for passenger-transport consists of a North-South link from Tangier via Rabat and Casablanca to Marrakech and this N/S link interconnects with the East-West connection linking Oujda in the East via Fes to Rabat. Major destinatioons currently not (yet) linked by rail are often served by Supratours, a bus company operated by the ONCF.
