Sleeper Train from Tangier to Marrakech, Morocco 🇲🇦: FionnOnTheRoad Episode 16
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 чер 2024
- In this episode of FionnOnTheRoad I take the long, arduous and surprisingly not TOO uncomfortable sleeper train from Tangier straight to Marrakesh! My plan for this leg of the trip was to make the long journey to Morocco’s touristic capital (yes I know not the official capital), where I would use the city as a hub to explore other destinations in the surrounding area.
If you’ve ever wondered what taking the ONCF night train was like, whether or not sleep was even a possiblility on a train ride like this, or just like to see me suffer a bit then this is the video for you as I show the no frills way to travel across this country. This video is a short one, but I’ve got plenty of stuff in the pipeline for the days ahead with stops in Essaouira, Fes, Chefchaouen, and even conquering Morocco’s mighty Djebel Toubkal. So stick around as I explore more of this beautiful country :)

Tangier and Marrakech train stations are gorgeous and much better than the ones we have here in Canada!The trains, especially the new TGV (borak), are also better than Via Rail's.... Enjoy your trip!
You should have taken the TGV high-speed train from Tangier to Rabat or casablanca, spent the day there and then left for Marrakech! Enjoy Bro
Yes if I was to do this trip again I’d do it a bit differently for sure, I’m sad to be missing out on Rabat
@@fotr You missed out on one of Morocco's best cities 😢
TGV and by daylight so that you can enjoy the amgnificant view of Morocco 💯
Absolutely, it’s would been easier and quicker
Why do Moroccans think their plans work for everyone
Honestly one of your best edited vids so far
Glad you think so buddy ❤️ I appreciate the support
Always feeling like a million bucks out of hamam. never gets old
Cleaner than I’ve ever imagined, it’s great
انها المغرب ياسادة 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦♥️♥️♥️♥️
Im waiting for your Essaoira video to decide if I go there too. It will be my second solo trip and my first in Marrocos.
It is a must when you visit Morocco, specially after visiting Marrakesh. I would recommend you go during the gnawa festival.
Yes I went to Essaouira, my next video will be about that city. Lots to see, and if you like surfing it’s great too. I wasn’t there during the festival but I did manage to see some fantastic traditional live music
I was there 1 month ago. Beautiful people very Nice live Tanger and Assouiara also. I was also in Tagazout beautiful
Welcome to Marakech the capital of one of the greatest Berber umpires Al moravid and Al mohads. Hope u enjoy ur trip there. ✌
my man
Welcome to MOROCCO 🦁🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
Enjoy your vacation enjoy Morocco
Welcome to Morocco !! I wish you a pleasant stay
On a side note : some vendors fake guides are pushy , real hustlers decline unapologetically NO
You can bargain in Moroccan culture it’s not perceived as rude
Peace !!
Yes I’ve noticed some people can be a little pushy, I suppose I am an easy target and kind of stick out haha! I’ve been practicing my bargaining but I’m still not very good! Thank you so much man, peace to you too 👍
@@fotr A little advice. Always offer 50% less, stick to it, hide your interest and just walk away! Enjoy your stay!
@@nabsmith9328 Spot on advice!
I was in Tangier 3 weeks ago felt good seeing the trainstation again. Our Airbnb was right next to it :)
What a perfect spot for the Airbnb. Super convenient right?
Enjoy
Morocco is the best country in Africa
المغرب الأقصى مشاء الله تبارك الرحمن 😍🇲🇦
الحمد لله حمدا كثيرا طيبا مباركا فيه ملء السماوات والارض وملء مابينهما وملء كل شيء بعد
بشهادة العدو قبل الصديق كما نقول في المغرب لي عندو عندو
great vid welcome to your seconde country and keep going
Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it 😁
My dude got a happy ending with that hamam massage 😂😂😂
Amazing
I have been on that train few years back. The good thing about it, you go to sleep and wake up in the morning in Marrakech fresh.
It’s a good price.
Yeah I had a good time on the train for sure, it’s nice falling asleep and waking up in a new city!
welcome to Morocco My Friend 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦👑👍👍
Thank you my friend, so happy to be here

It’s been amazing! 🙌
Bienvenue au Maroc 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦❤️❤️❤️
Welcome to Errachidia, an other world to explore!
Hi Bro
Welcome to Morocco
Next time, take the fastest train in the world from Tangier to Casablanca (TGV or BORAK train) and then another normal train to Marrakech.
Your trip will be more easier.
Hope you enjoyed Marrakech and Morocco and hope to see you again there.
Love from Moroccan guy in Paris
Hey bro, yes I would love to take that train! I’ve heard good things about it and it would be much faster for sure, but I wanted to see what a night train was like. It’s my first time spending a night on a train! Thanks for the love man, Morocco has been amazing
😅 its not the fastest in the world brother , it is the fastest in africa with a top speed of 320km/h !
U said the train station is not too bad …bro it this new and, modern clean and a way better than the one in the most advanced countries , I have been in the USA, Australia , Canada and all over Europe … this one in Morocco is wow comparing to the old ones you have in the mentioned countries
I said good things about the train station, I even mentioned how I had a good time waiting there. “Not bad” is a good thing
Welcome in morocco 🌹🌹🌹
That s nice train
U re welcome sir . L and S.
Hope u perfect epidodes in morocco
I wanted to know about the sleeper train and this video exactly answers all my questions I was going to do the same thing as you but wasn’t sure to go ahead with it cs I’ve never done the transport like this
Welcome to Morocco
Welcome to Morocco bro 🥰🥰🥰❤
Thank you!
Welcom to Morocco
Hy boy, bon voyage.....
Thank you! It’s been incredible so far
Welcome morocco
Welcome to morocco
welcome to morrocco
Thanks! I’ve felt very welcome here
Welcome
You didn't get over charged for the taxi, keep in mind whenever you gonna take the big taxi alone you'll have to pay for all the empty seats because they work by seat, if you're taking it alone you'll pay for all the other 5 empty seats, always talk about it or ask locals they will provide some infos on how to do things without having to pay extra
Yeah I learned about splitting taxis later in my trip
@@fotr big taxis that works from a city to another take long roads that's why they charge a lot so it's better to go to taxis stations, when you go to taxis stations they wait until they fill all the 6 places then they go, ask locals how much it costs then catch a place, small taxis work with the counter, whenever you get in one tell him to run the counter so they don't overcharge you especially in Marrakech, I'm moroccan and they overcharged me in that city multiple times, good trip nice content and good luck
Moroccan train stations are better than some European stations
Absolutely, I’ve been to plenty of bad European stations haha, the Tangier one was really nice

مرحبا بيك في مدينة افران المغرب هناك من مساحات 🌲 الاشجار الأرز في العالم في مرتفعات الاطلس متوسط وا بحيرات كتير
You have to know that cats rooling the country here 😂❤️
Yes they are everywhere and definitely are in charge!
❤
As they see that you are from outside, they raise the prices of food and if you want to buy something, so you have to haggle although it is difficult to negotiate food prices
I don’t mind haggling but when it comes to food I just go by the given price, you’re definitely right it’s tough to haggle food price
🇲🇦❤🇲🇦❤🇲🇦❤🇲🇦❤🇲🇦❤🇲🇦❤🇲🇦❤🇲🇦❤
هناك أماكن أخرى في طنجة لم تذهب إليها رائعة وتاريخية وجميلة جيدأ
❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍
dude...that's not the first class sleeping compartments lol , next time don't shy away from asking for help or directions , we Moroccans don't mind helping others , and oh btw watch out for the scammers in Marrakech , and if you want to buy anything from the Souk try to negotiate the Price ! have a nice trip sir
Yes unfortunately I found out too late that I went on the wrong train. But the man working for ONCF told me where to go so I thought it was correct… still I had a pretty good sleep!
@@fotr it's alright all that matters is you sleep well , but first class usually gets their own big bed alone , still you didn't really miss out a lot
You mess a lot in marrakech that was nothing you need to explore more about this beautiful city❤️🇲🇦
Hi, may I know where you are buying the train ticket? Is it on the spot or online?
🤩🤩🤩👍🇲🇦
How long did you stay in Morocco? You sure got to visit a lot of cities. I usually stay for 2 weeks and can only fit in 2 cities lol
2.5 weeks total… yeah I went super fast. Next time I should spend more time and go more slowly
معرفتش اش كيعجبهم فمراكش طنجة احسن مدينة و ممعروفاش بزاف عند توريست
طنجة تتعجب العرب حيت معندهومش الطبيعة اما بالنسبة للاجانب طنجة بالنسبة ليهم تتشبه لاوروبا مفيهاش الجديد تتعجبهم الصحرا و الشمس حيت ممولفينهومش
@@nounanouna8911 مراكش فيها غا الطلابة و لي كايعدبوا دوك القرودة مساكن و الزبل فالارض واقيلة مكتفهمش اش كيقول انا كنتفرج ففيديواتهم بزااف كيعيبوا على هادوك لي كايطيبوا بلا ليگات كيعيبو على السعاية كايظلو يعيبوا فيها ولي جا مرة عمرو يعاود يرجع ليها غا واخدة شنعة وصافي
For someone who lives in Marrakech , u still havent visit a lot of cool places , but hey next time make sure u hit me up so i can make sure that ur trip gets so mush cooler than it already is . Nice videos btw .
Oh absolutely I’m sure there’s so much more amazing stuff to see and do in Marrakech, unfortunately my time was limited in Morocco, but in the future I’d love to come back!
غلطتي فختيار القطار والفندق
Try to change the word ' not bad " by " good " .. The video are " not bad " , you are well . feel it
this is what i just writed in a comment... when he says about the best train stations in africa ... it could be wose it seems kinda rude i think
Please bring the moustache back!!!
Haha dude I loved it but I tried to make it look better and messed it up so I had to shave the whole thing :( don’t worry it’ll be back eventually!
Did you have to make a reservation ahead or you just bought your ticket at the station? I'm having a hard time finding it.
You can make reservations on the ONCF website, however I found it easier to just go and get the ticket at the station, which is what I did in the video. You can always go and get the ticket for another day if you’d like
@@fotr Thank you so much! your videos are awesome btw
You don't have to take the train at night because you don't want to take the hotel, if you ask anyone, they'll take you home to eat and sleep, hello everyone
In which world you expect to pay 15DH (1.5$) from the airport to your destination? I’m astonished of how some tourists are expecting everything to be cheap !
Airport ? It’s from the train station
I didn’t know that train…… I just came from morocco
It was a cool experience!
Hi, wonder if one can get ticket online? Thanks!
I want to know this tooo
OMG as a moroccan I can't sleep on these hostels 😅
Honestly it was pretty good! I can’t complain
you got in 3rd class... the first class compartments are at the front and they're one bedroom
I was told there was only 1st and 2nd class, and my spot on the train matched what my ticket said and the worker told me it was correct so I thought I had it right
@@fotr there's 3 types of night train compartments, single, double and the one you were in, 350 dirhams is definitely a single bedroom, i'm assuming the mistake was on their end and sometimes things get lost in translation.
Ah ok well thank you for letting me know! I’ll have to make sure I’m more careful next time haha, no big deal you live and you learn right 😁
@@sbaaoussama3652 Hi, wonder if one can get this ticket online? Thanks!
One more thing bro if you want to see the luxury life and best places in Morocco, get ride of your back pack and be ready to be spoiled by spending more money .so don’t expect a wow experience If u are spending the minimum ..and stop converting the currency just spend money go to 5 stars hotels and good fine dining restaurants u don’t go eat in the street..get a limousine service and hire a guid
I’m travelling the world for a year, I’m not a rich guy or anything and certainly wouldn’t be able to travel for so long if I used limousine services or stayed in 5 star hotels. Besides, I like to see countries how they’re meant to be seen, how locals perceive and experience their own country etc. and I’ve had a lot of amazing “wow” experiences even when keeping my spending to a minimum. I convert the currency as a way to keep track myself on how much money I’m spending, and so anyone watching from abroad can have a good idea of what my costs have been
you need to give prices on food
Start posting on TikTok too , to get more people
Yes I plan on doing Tik Tok and Instagram reels eventually, I’ve got some videos to catch up on first and a bit more practice with editing and then I’ll get there :)
nooo !
what happened to the mustache ?
I tried to make it look nicer and messed it up by accident! I’m keeping the clean shaven look for a bit but don’t worry the moustache will return better than ever!
Welcome to Morocco.
Man why you shaved the moustache 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I messed it up by accident and had to shave it! I’ll be clean shaven for a bit but the stache is coming back eventually don’t worry
jamal square?
Jemaa El Fnaa square yes
I'm not so sure that the compliments about your shoes, t-shirt etc. were actually meant as compliments! I just got back from my seventh visit to Morocco, and in Essaouira was "complimented" numerous times on the pendant I wear around my neck, and the ring I bought in Cappadocia many years ago. But the compliments were just ploys to get me to go and look at "similar" jewellery the person was trying to sell! Incidentally, the pushiness of shopkeepers in Essaouira has really ramped up since the pandemic. You used to be able to walk around the town completely undisturbed by anyone trying to sell you anything, but not any more!
I'm sad there was no mustache at the end of the video you kinda looked weird without it. 👁️👄👁️
I look weird?!? 😂😂 I guess I’ll have to bring it back if people like it so much
Abonné. ...from Morocco y are welcome..😃
come to brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
One day my friend. 🇨🇦 and 🇧🇷 forever
Sorry, my friend. Whoever visited Morocco will return to it again and again. He will not love another place. This is the testimony of all those who visited it. It has a special charm. Beautiful seas, forests, deserts, nature, people's generosity and kindness, and the very beautiful atmosphere.
@@hadram9945 As a Moroccan who has been around, I say Yes, you are absolutely righht! No other country can replace Morocco in my heart!
ان هو موكلي
Nta 3alaaammmm....LOL
Looks like you are getting overpriced in Morocco. If prices aren't displayed you can bargain.
علاش الفرماج فوق الخبز شوهتونا
Video's are not enjoyable, sorry to be so direct. You can do better
This is not first class. You can have the entire cabin for less than 60$
Are you poor?
Attention à arnaquech
Do not be afraid of fraud, it will not be more dangerous than fraud by the countries of the West, Morocco is protected, thank God, you are just a nobody who is afraid of its shadow
U took the cheapest train and u're complaining lol hahahahaah
95% of this vid is about your face
💯 could've been worse! Just a 21st century tip: Get rid of the 'porn' mustache and treat yourself for a haircut. Ain't expensive!
Hey man everyone likes the moustache, why not try new things when travelling right?
@@fotr Just being facetious. A little bit of Moroccan "dry humor'. Enjoy your trip!
Ohhh hahaha sorry, I took it seriously! Funny you should mention that though I actually did get a haircut and shave recently! I appreciate the support though dude have a good one!
بحال هاد الپوڤريا ما يستافد منهم المغرب والو
حتى أصحاب العقلية مثلك عالة على المغرب لا يستفيد منهم شيئا
With all respect to this tourists .. u come to Morocco u expect to eat for free or pay a way less than what u are paying now . At least u don’t pay as u do in your country and u complain like ladies ,appreciate that Morocco is still cheep less than half price than going back home , and taxis are a way cheaper than yours but yet you complain a lot .
I didn’t complain at all, never said I wanted to eat for free that would be ridiculous. And in all my Morocco videos I’ve said numerous times how much I love the country and how amazing the prices are, so not sure what you mean by complaining
