Summer in Morocco means one thing:
Families traveling.
Tourists arriving.
MREs returning home.
And millions of journeys across the country.
To handle the wave of travelers expected this year, the ONCF has just launched its Special Summer 2026 Plan.
And the scale of the operation is impressive.
─────────
From June 22 to September 13, Morocco’s national railway operator will deploy an expanded transport network designed to keep the country moving during one of the busiest periods of the year.
The headline figure?
237 trains every single day.
That’s a major reinforcement across the network, especially on the routes most in demand during the summer season.
─────────
The high-speed Al Boraq service will operate 30 daily trains between Tangier, Kénitra, Rabat and Casablanca, with additional capacity during peak travel periods.
Meanwhile, Al Atlas will run 70 trains per day, including reinforced overnight services on the Tangier–Oujda route and additional trains on key regional connections.
And for travelers heading to the airport?
The Mohammed V Airport connection will be served by 36 TNR trains daily, with departures every hour between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m.
─────────
But ONCF isn’t just adding trains.
It’s also trying to make travel more affordable.
The company announced:
250,000 YALLA AL ATLAS tickets for only 49 DH
SAYFI Pass, offering 30% discounts on 10 trips
Ahlan Family, with discounts for MRE families and free travel for children
A new 31–59 years old card providing 15% discounts on Al Boraq and Al Atlas services.
─────────
Behind the numbers lies a bigger challenge.
Every summer, Morocco’s transport system faces its ultimate stress test.
Millions of passengers.
Thousands of journeys.
Countless reunions.
Vacations.
Family visits.
And World Cup fever already boosting mobility across the country.
─────────
For ONCF, Summer 2026 isn’t just about trains.
It’s about keeping Morocco connected when demand reaches its peak.
And if the plan works as expected, this could become one of the busiest railway seasons in the company’s history.
─────────
But here’s the real question…
As Morocco’s rail network continues to expand, could trains become the country’s preferred way to travel over long distances in the years ahead?
