Changing trains between Tangier and Oujda
Because there is no direct train from Tangier to Oujda, the journey is made with a change at Sidi Kacem on the night train. Haqqi Tours books it as one journey: the two legs are timed to work together, and if the first train is late the rail company's rules on missed connections apply, which we clarify when we confirm. It is still faster and easier than most people expect.
The long run east to the Algerian border region passes Fes; a change at Sidi Kacem is needed on the night train.
Departure: Tanger Ville station
Tanger Ville station is where the Tangier to Oujda train begins. We send the platform and coach details with the ticket when the rail company publishes them, and a short note on how boarding works there - whether tickets are scanned at a gate, checked on board, or both. Arrive with a small margin; on this route the doors close a minute or two before the timetabled departure.
- Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from your hotel in Tangier to the station on request
- Let us know which hall or level your train leaves from - big stations have more than one
- Arrive 20-30 minutes early; the platform is shown on the boards shortly before departure
- Keep the e-ticket on your phone and the ID used for booking together - some operators check both
Arrival: Oujda
Arrival is at Oujda, and this is the moment the train wins over the plane: no baggage belt, no passport queue, no airport bus. Oujda is the main city of eastern Morocco near the Algerian border, with a walled medina, the Sidi Yahya area and a gateway to Saïdia's beaches. We can have a Haqqi Tours driver at the exit with your name, or simply tell you the best way to your hotel by metro or taxi.
Arriving late? We note your arrival time and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the train, so a delay costs you nothing.
Classes and what it is like on board the Tangier to Oujda train
On board, the Tangier to Oujda train is relaxed: you can walk about, eat at your seat or in the café coach where there is one, and keep the bags in sight. Classes available are 2nd class and 1st class; families often prefer a table of four, solo passengers a window seat in the quiet coach. Let us know when you book and we choose the seats accordingly, where the railway allows seat selection.
- Bicycles, pushchairs and large luggage accepted within the rail company's rules, which we spell out
- Pets are allowed on many services with a small ticket - tell us if one is travelling
- Reserved seats with tables, power sockets and luggage racks

Larger groups - a school trip, a company, a wedding party - get seats reserved in a block and, where available, a group rate. There is no luggage allowance to worry about on the Tangier to Oujda train.

Best time to take the train from Tangier to Oujda
Every season has its case for Oujda. On the train, the difference between seasons shows in availability more than comfort: peak-week departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for July, August, Christmas, New Year and Easter journeys between Tangier and Oujda.
Train, plane or bus from Tangier to Oujda?
Weighing a flight against the train from Tangier to Oujda? Add the time to the airport, check-in, security and the trip in from the arrival airport, and the train is normally as fast door to door and far less tiring - about 10 hours 20 minutes 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 Oujda to Tangier
We book the return leg from Oujda to Tangier just as easily, and usually on the same confirmation. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles and choose the cheaper combination for your dates. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.
How much does the train from Tangier to Oujda cost?
"How much is the train ticket from Tangier to Oujda?" 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.
The figure we send covers the ticket, any compulsory seat reservation and our booking service; what you see through WhatsApp is what you pay. If a cheaper departure exists thirty minutes earlier or later, we tell you, because a Tangier to Oujda train ticket that costs less at a slightly different time is typically worth it.
Cheapest train ticket from Tangier to Oujda: how to pay less
A cheap train ticket from Tangier to Oujda is not luck - it is booking the right seat on the right departure. Here is how we find it:
- 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 generally the cheapest
- Avoid the first and last trains of the day, which carry commuters and business passengers at higher fares
We are happy to be asked "what is the cheapest way to get from Tangier to Oujda by train?" - it is a question we answer many times a day, and the answer for your dates comes back by WhatsApp.

Children have their own fare bands set by ONCF Al Atlas intercity train: the youngest typically travel free, older children at a reduced fare. Give the ages on the form and we apply the right fares and seat them next to you.

No weighing and no fees on this route: you bring what you can carry and lift onto the racks. Pushchairs, skis and bicycles are accepted within the railway's rules, which we spell out if they apply to you.
Can I choose my seat?
Where the railway allows seat selection we choose for you - a table for a family, a window in the quiet coach for a solo traveller, seats together for a group. Tell us your preference by WhatsApp.
What is the difference between the classes?
Mostly comfort and quiet. The higher class gives wider seats, more legroom and fewer passengers, sometimes a drink or at-seat service; the standard class is perfectly comfortable for the 10 hours 20 minutes journey. We send the cost of each so you can compare.
What happens if I miss the train?
It depends on the fare: fixed-departure tickets are valid only for that train, flexible ones can be used on the next. We explain the rules of your ticket before you commit to anything and help in the WhatsApp chat if something goes wrong on the day.
Can I change or cancel my train ticket?
Change and cancellation rules depend on the fare type you choose; some tickets are fully flexible, the cheapest are not. We tell you exactly what applies before you confirm, and handle any change through the same WhatsApp conversation.
Do I need to print the ticket?
No. The e-ticket on your phone - a PDF or a booking reference, depending on ONCF Al Atlas intercity train - is enough on the Tangier to Oujda route. If a printed copy or the booking ID is ever required, we say so when we send it.

Yes - a private car from your accommodation to Tanger Ville station and another from Oujda to your hotel in Oujda, with room for everyone's luggage, can be added to the ticket confirmation.
