🧐 Is Tanger-Ville the Al Boraq terminal?

Yes. Tanger-Ville is the Tangier terminal for ONCF’s Al Boraq high-speed service and the main passenger rail station for the city. It is much closer to central Tangier than Tanger Med port, but the ferry-port transfer still needs planning.

🏢 Address and official website

🌊 Rail at the Strait of Gibraltar

Tanger-Ville is where Morocco’s high-speed story meets a port city. Al Boraq links Tangier with Kenitra, Rabat and Casablanca, turning the north-south trip into a much easier rail itinerary.

The important travel distinction is Tangier city versus Tanger Med. The railway station is in Tangier city; the big ferry/industrial port is far away by road or bus.

🚕 How to reach Tanger-Ville

• From central Tangier: taxi or city bus can work, depending on luggage and hotel location.
• From Tanger Med port: do not assume it is nearby; allow a serious transfer buffer.
• From the old medina: taxi is easiest with luggage, while walking may only suit light bags.

✅ Step-by-step station plan

🎫 Tickets and schedules

Use ONCF Voyages for Al Boraq and conventional ONCF tickets. First-class Al Boraq passengers should also check current lounge/access rules because services at the station may change.

⏱️ How much time should you budget?

Plan 30-45 minutes before Al Boraq. Add much more if coming from Tanger Med port or if your ferry arrival may be delayed.

📍 Nearby and onward travel
