Spring and autumn are mild and pleasant; summer is warm and humid on the coast; winter is cool with rain, and traffic is heavy on weekday mornings and evenings and on Friday afternoons.

Winter services run normally, with occasional weather delays on mountainous or coastal stretches.
Train, plane or bus from Meknes to Casablanca?
Weighing a flight against the train from Meknes to Casablanca? Add the time to the airport, check-in, security and the trip in from the arrival airport, and the train is generally as fast door to door and far less tiring - about 3 hours on board. The bus is the budget option, worth it for some passengers, slower for all. We book whichever suits you; on this route the train is our first recommendation.
Return train from Casablanca to Meknes
Coming back? Say so on the form. A return train ticket from Casablanca to Meknes booked with the outbound is frequently cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the whole trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.
How much does the train from Meknes to Casablanca cost?
"How much is the train ticket from Meknes to Casablanca?" is the first question we get, and the honest answer is that it depends on when you travel and when you book. Fares open months ahead at their lowest level and rise as seats sell; peak days, holidays and the first and last departures of the day sit higher; first class and flexible tickets cost more than a fixed second-class seat. Haqqi Tours offers the current cost for your date within minutes of receiving the form - no estimates, the actual fare.
What we do include in the price we send: the ticket itself in the class you chose, the seat reservation where the rail company requires one, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the electronic ticket and answering questions before and during the journey. There are no hidden extras added at the end.
Cheapest train ticket from Meknes to Casablanca: how to pay less
Getting the lowest fare on the train from Meknes to Casablanca is a matter of timing and flexibility. These are the levers Haqqi Tours pulls to find you a cheap train ticket:
- Ask about children's, youth and senior fares - most operators on this route discount them
- Book both directions together - a return or two singles, whichever comes out cheaper on your dates
- Choose a fixed-departure ticket if your plans are certain; flexible tickets cost more
- For families and groups, ask about group fares - four or more travellers often unlock a lower rate
- Book early - fares on this route open weeks or months ahead and the lowest tiers sell first
- Travel mid-week and mid-day - Tuesday to Thursday departures after the morning rush are normally the cheapest
When you send the form, mention if you are flexible. We compare the fares across the day and send the cheapest Meknes to Casablanca train ticket first, then the alternatives.

We provide the ticket in your name, explain how boarding works at Meknes El Amir Abdelkader station and stay reachable during the journey.
- Step 1 - complete the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class

Timetable of the Meknes to Casablanca train
Many a day - that is how often the train from Meknes to Casablanca runs with ONCF Al Atlas intercity train. The fastest services take about 3 hours; some departures are a bit slower where they make extra stops. The first trains of the morning suit a full day in Casablanca; the late-afternoon departures are popular with passengers who want to sleep in their own bed and arrive in the evening.
Our advice for the timetable: choose the departure that fits your day in Casablanca, not the cheapest one blindly - though we tell you both. A train that arrives at Casa Voyageurs station in the early afternoon gives you the evening in Casablanca; a late one lands you after dinner.
