How much does the train from Meknes to Oujda cost?

Train ticket prices from Meknes to Oujda move like flight fares: the earlier you book and the quieter the departure, the less you pay. The class you choose, whether you want a refundable ticket, a seat reservation or a return, and whether children are travelling all change the total. Rather than quote a figure that will be out of date tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to travel and sends it to you in the WhatsApp chat before you decide.

Cheapest train ticket from Meknes to Oujda: how to pay less

Getting the lowest fare on the train from Meknes to Oujda is a matter of timing and flexibility. These are the levers Haqqi Tours pulls to find you a cheap train ticket:

• 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 passengers 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 typically the cheapest
• Avoid the first and last trains of the day, which carry commuters and business travellers at higher fares
