I took Africa’s First Ever HIGH-SPEED TRAIN... 

Morocco is lifting the image of Africa, with it's football and modern means.

I went to Morocco last summer and I've got to say, the trains were better than in the UK. Yeah they were older and more crowded but the tickets were dirt cheap (for me at least, not sure about how expensive it is for locals) and were also electric, which is something the UK has actually regressed on since electric trains were invented. In the UK trains are so absurdly expensive that it's cheaper to fly to Scotland than get the train there, which is bollocks. And the Moroccan trains really weren't that bad on the inside, it was a squeeze but it wasn't that unpleasant though I did have to stand for a bit since an old woman was on my seat (same thing happens in England too). I wish Morocco all the best, shame they didn't win the world cup, I was rooting for them against the French every minute.

I'm from Germany I've visited Morocco 3 times very nice and the people are friendly I love the country one day I'll emigrate and live there forever.

You got to love that Morocco has a high speed train years before the U.S.

Morocco train stations are just ♥️♥️ I love it and I love how they are showing there culture in every expect love from India Morocco 🇲🇦🇮🇳♥️

Everything looked really modern, nice and cared about! Morocco knows what it’s doing! Hopefully more nations around the world will one day get such luxury as High Speed Trains! Greetings from Serbia 🇷🇸!

When I saw this title, I knew this had to be Morocco 🇲🇦 !!! It’s beautiful always including some Moroccan artistic design.

كل الحب للمغرب والمغاربة من مصر 🥰🥰

Morocco is such an underrated country in Africa. The infratructure is great and the sceneries are fantastic!

Well done Morocco! We in Egypt are also building our own high speed train. We can learn from them.

I'm working in moroccan railways office welcome to morocco 🇲🇦 🙌

I appreciate the absence of the airport-style security and boarding system that so many newer high-speed railways have been adopting. And the stations look nice, for all that they're very modern.

Congrats Morocco! Moroccons really improving the Image of Africa!❤ Best of luck for the future. Love from India ❤

Most impressive. My only trip to Morocco was on Inter-Rail in 1986! It took about 5-6 hours for this journey. I got to Marrakech and got chatting to a friendly student who invited me to his house to sample some almond pastries, where his dad and friends were watching Serie A on TV. Appropriate timing for this video as Morocco become the first African nation to reach the World Cup semi finals. The stations and trains have changed out of all recognition. It was clearly sensible to buy tried and tested French TGV technology, and I wish the seats on our new UK Intercity trains were as comfortable as those shown here! All in all, a huge transformation of the country in the last 35 years, so kudos to Morocco.

Such a beautiful country. Congrats on such amazing progress. Greetings from Pakistan 🇵🇰💚

I am from Morocco, and I am proud of my country. People here are very hospitable. Welcome all.

I study in France in a school with a specialization around cars, planes and trains, and the student that specialize around trains often go to Morocco for their internships, and they all fell in love with the country and always talk about all the progress they made in such a short time for their high speed system

Not only Morocco is developing in railways but olso developing in roads, motorways, bridges and so on. I thinks in next 20 years or less we will be there with European elite

Thank You for the video ,Morocco is one of the most growing countries in africa .well done morocco

As a Moroccan, it makes me happy you liked the Boraq train! The fastest train I tried was the Maglev train from Shanghai Pudong Airport (431km/h).

Beautiful train and journey. Visited Morocco 10 years ago, it is a very very nice country and super safe

Dieser Zug macht mir Lust auf das Reisen durch Marokko. Es ist gut dargestellt, informativ und interessant. Und es zeigt die Vielfalt in Marokko; sei es landschaftlich, kulturell und wirtschaftlich.

Beautiful Morocco 🇲🇦😍👍

Morocco is a very nice country to visit, specially as a french as they speak french quite well. Very impressive feat, Morocco is in a good track.

Thank you for the warm comments ❤️🇲🇦❤️ dima Maghreb

I'm impressed with how much knowledge of the Moroccan history you've shown during your trip

I am glad you covered my country fast train system, Morocco is working to extend the system to key cities in Morocco like Fez and Marrakesh. Just this current train between Casablanca and Tangier cutted the travel time by half and really developed the economic status for a lot of workers and entrepreneurs. It's one of Morocco's adchivememt that I as a Moroccan am proud of. (Especially since I advocate for public transport and love Trains) we still got a long way to go tho xD!

Very impressive ♥️♥️🇮🇳♥️ 🇲🇦

Morocco = Africa Pride !

Great video as always! Also perfect timing as Morocco is shocking the world in the football world cup

모로코 진짜 아름다운 나라 한번 가보고 싶다 👌

Great well informed video as always . Coincidence that I was watching it while eating raspberries.... from Morocco!

I am lucky to travel with the German ICE regularly from cologne to Frankfurt. Hitting the 300km/hr is something I look forward to every week and it fascinates me everytime when I see trucks on the nearby highway at 100km/hr looking almost like their standing still compared to the high-speed train.

Long live Morocco 🇲🇦🙏

Interesting to see how Morocco approaches the concept of HSR differently from Japan (i.e. boarding, seating, open air rather than a half or full roof at the station terminal). Welcome to the club, and what a refreshing landscape to view at 320km/h on the ground!

I definitely enjoyed watching your video with all the details and welcome to Morocco 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦

Thank you for sharing this with the world, a lot of people think that Morocco is a poor and unmodern country based on the fact that it's located in Africa. indeed some areas still need work but overall Morocco is definitely your African destination if you want a great mixture of modern and traditional, especially Marrakech , Rabat , Chefchaouen and Tanger. Not to mention its citizens' hospitality, it's definitely known for its friendly , generous and kind people. I personally believe it got the best people in the world , full of passion and patriotism, it was well demonstrated in the world cup as Morocco's crowd was the largest and most impressive among all even tho there was bigger and stronger teams playing with history in football, Morocco's people solidarity, passion , and union was well represented. the "morocco this way, airport this way" video of moroccan fans showing themselves the way to the airport after they lost to croatia still gets me lmao truly best people. Also as you said you can get various items at a pretty cheap price, which makes it lots more fun as you're saving up some money ig.ITS FOOD IS ALSO AMAZING. i hope more people get to visit Morocco, it is a wonderful country

Thank you for publicizing the Morocco in a beautiful way

Nice to see progress in countries like Morocco here. What is really standing out is ticket prices. Prices made affordable for most of the population.

I am well impressed by your correct use of the Arabic script and attempt at pronunciation. Although not perfect, the attempt is laudable! These things are often not expected on the English speaking internet, so this was a happy exception. And, to be honest, the Moroccan-Arabic dialect is a challenge upon it own. Concerning the fastest train taken, my experience is limited to the Rotterdam-Paris Thalys service.

First of all, my friend, thank you for this video on Morocco 🇲🇦 I consider myself Moroccan 🇲🇦. As for the city of Rabat, it is a very old city, and French colonialism 🇫🇷 came only to protect Morocco 🇲🇦 and not to colonize it like other neighboring countries 🇩🇿🇹🇳

I would love to visit Morocco and take this bullet train thanks for sharing

I took that train from Tangier to Rabat, loved it

Same goes for my city's main station, Kraków Główny. A heritage building served as this station's cash desks until 2014, when they moved from Jan Nowak-Jeziorański Square to Bosacka Street (but the main entrance is from Aleksander Lubomirski street (near roundabout). It's an elevated station, on viaduct.

Africa is growing ♥️♥️ we love you Africa without Africa world can't grow love from India 🇮🇳♥️🇲🇦

Since long, Morocco's railway has been the "most European of all the African networks", you can find the same trains there that also run in France, Belgium or Italy. So it's no wonder it's now Africa's fastest by far, certainly a remarkable achievement. I haven't been there yet, even though Morocco is (or was) included in Interrail (and so it became an exotic end destination for a number of European travellers). Perhaps I'm going to wait a few more years, if the network gets expanded as shown that would be exciting. (There are even plans for an undersea connection to Spain ...)

The fastest trains I was on were in mainland China. 350km/h between Guilin North and Shenzhen North. Beautiful landscape, so many mountains. And the Maglev in Shanghai went 430 km/h, but that was a very short ride, just from the airport to the city.

morocco killing it

I remember the old station in Tangiers from back in the 80’s. No high speed trains back then. Morocco has come a long way.

I have taken the Meglev train from Shanghai's Pudong airport to the city, and it reaches 420km per hour. It's interesting to experience the train from the opposite direction passing you on the track next to you. It was quicker than a blink and a light shake. When I told my wife that a train just passed by, going the opposite direction, she asked incredulously, "what train?" 😂

The sound added on the zoom out and in around 5:00 are a great touch. Great video overall, subbed

i love how you can eat and look over the outside platforms. All station should be like this

Bravo le 🇲🇦

Excellent video again from you. The journey and train looks very good & well worth the trip. You sold it very well.

This is very cool, it’s wonderful to see the world of trains

The map is not correct though ...the sahara is moroccan.

I used it few time from tanger to Rabat 2nd class no much difference from 1st class i love it.

Great train journey I travel this route on a weekly basis and never get bored of it.

Diiiima Maghreb (Always Morocco) 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦

i bless the trains down in africa

Another great video! Really enjoyed it and it is so wonderful to see such brilliant station and facilities as well as the HS train as well. Thanks and kudos on some solid Arabic pronunciation 😊✌️👏

Thanks for this video and welcome any time I wish you enjoyed .and welcome any time to Rabat.

impressive speed, congratulations from spain

I respect the fact that they at least ordered the train from France and then chose a specific name for it, it’s like the French TGV exactly

Welcome ..every one to Morocco ❤❤

What a fantastic video. Subscribed as well. Keep it up.

both, the train and the station are looking very nice.

Watching from the USA, I can put yet another entry on my list of nations we are inferior to...sigh.

Moroccans at first were very opposed to that project, but later were convinced of it's utility

Morocco is very beautiful

Beautiful reportage, thanks

Love morroco from your brother nation 🇮🇳♥️🇲🇦

Of course traveling on the Moroccan high speed train 'alboraq' could be an unforgettable experience, the same if you're traveling in car or riding an adventure motorcycle 🏍 thus the pleasure will be far more exciting reaching the many tourist destinations and attractions around the country particularly in summertime where beaches 🏖 along the coasts are fully crowded with people 🏝🏕🌄🌞

YES Morocco and Egypt is in Africa. Thanks for video. Can't wait to try this

Very nice video sir. Thanks.

Welcome to Morocco 🇲🇦

Casablanca has two railway stations for Al Boraq. One is at the port. The TGV line will be extended to the Airport Casablanca Mohammed V.

Wooooow it's so Stunning I love it so much ❤️

I got to start semi-regular travel on German ICE trains last month, and coming from North America I'm still very impressed!

That is quite funny to see some people think that there is no development in African countries, I am Moroccan and Lebanese and I can tell you that the level of development has grown quite a lot, with the level of living of course but also growing inequalities.

Haha funny I just used this train today for the first time, only until Kenitra though, switched there to the Atlas to Meknes. Lovely train and the station is amazing! Also buying the ticket at the desk went very quick! I'm not sure if this was my fastest ride ever or some TGV or Freccia Rossa or ICE...

Great trip. Finally you try this train.

Beautiful Morocco 😍😍❤💚

As a Moroccan believe me , 450dh for a flexible aaand first place is sometimes cheaper than taking regular public transit, we have our issues like all the countries but when it comes to transportation infrastructure we have it under control 🇲🇦🇲🇦👍🏽.

unfortunately peope in America and europe think all Africans an middle east people still live in the desert with camels with no cars no buildings no wifi just the desert and that is completely wrong just write morocco on youtube and see the truth, of course, we do not have the best technology and cities in the world but we have big hearts just say i lost my money and i do not have a place to stay in and you will find everyone seeking to help u and take care of u for free without asking u who u are no one is talking about the Arabic generosity u have to see it then judge and do not believe media, especially Holywood movies they are just liars and they fake everything for their own good thanks to this channel to show my country as it is that is something i really appreciate ..for people who don't know arabic alborak is horse with wings that can travel with light speed

Seeing my good old TGV interior, but with those beautiful african landscape feels great ! Feels like France and Morocco are connected by a railline above the mediteranean sea. :D

i like how you try to do a good job with the local town names and orthography in your videos

Speechless!

I have travelled on the Tianjin to Beijing (and return) highspeed train at 347kph (216mph) - 30 minutes each way.

Thank you for that rail pack info-detailing your trip on, good and sound! but in regards of the seat design pattern is typically Moroccan traditional mosaic tile pattern pretty much just little to mention,..! Thank you for the great video :)

What I like about this is how this high-speed railway makes a lot of sense to be exactly where it is, and to be high-speed. Unlike many other cases where having a high-speed railway is more about having it than about it actually making sense.

Very beautiful video, thank you

As here in Europe, UK and USA everything is going down the drain through years of bad management and greed, the former much derided poorer countries are rising. Well done Morocco.

By the way, to clear an information mentioned that Rabat the capital city for the Moroccan dynasty in 12 Century! You can look it up! That was rich culturally and civilized back then when France wasn’t even born yet!😅😊

This is gorgeous infrastructure.

I went on an Interrail journey in 2017 (Sweden to Spain and back again) and I rode the ICE in Germany, TGV in France and AVE and Avant in Spain. The AVE was the fastest, reaching 325 km/h during my journey. I’d love to visit Morocco in the future and travel by train. 🌞

Wow! Just wow! 🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿

Last time in Morocco (just before lockdown) I was in a van so didn't get to try the new trains, but a decade or so ago I did take the old French style classic train hauled by the lovely 'Nez Cassé' locos. A few weeks later I was on the infamous Mauritanian iron ore train which way definitely one of the more interesting train rides I've taken!

great train video

So good to see a graffitiless country.
