Casablanca, Morocco’s economic and industrial heart, is a modern and dynamic metropolis that combines urban growth, historical richness, and key infrastructure. To support this development and enhance its attractiveness, His Majesty King Mohammed VI has launched an ambitious railway program. This strategic plan, aimed at improving mobility and the industrial ecosystem, reflects the Kingdom’s ambition to make Casablanca a truly innovative city.
Economic and industrial capital of Morocco, Casablanca is a dynamic metropolis covering 384 km² with a population of 5 million. Located on the Atlantic coast, it is a crossroads where modernity blends with a rich historical heritage. A true national economic engine and a major regional logistics hub, Casablanca captivates with its urban vibrancy and contemporary infrastructure, exemplified by its skyscrapers and strategic port. Its strong cultural identity and architectural heritage coexist harmoniously with its role as a rapidly growing metropolis, as reflected in the lively atmosphere of its Corniche.
“When it comes to a metropolis, traffic is often under pressure with frequent jams. But thanks to these works, the situation has improved. Tunnels have even been built.”

As part of a national plan worth 96 billion dirhams, on September 24, 2025, His Majesty King Mohammed VI launched in Casablanca, Morocco’s economic capital and industrial hub, a 20-billion-dirham railway program. This project modernizes urban and regional mobility with three multimodal stations, ten local stations, and 92 km of lines, offering a train every 7.5 minutes thanks to the acquisition of 48 train sets with 1,000 seats each.
“The King officially inaugurated the new local lines serving the Casablanca region. This ambitious project, focused on the Mohammedia–Nouaceur corridor, includes the deployment of local trains and involves significant works. These works include the addition of 260 kilometers of railway tracks, the construction of new local stations and major stations, as well as the creation of maintenance workshops.”
