context_page_description: Al-Boraq is a 323-kilometre-long high-speed rail service between Casablanca and Tangier, operated by ONCF in Morocco. The first of its kind on the African continent, the high-speed service was inaugurated on 15 November 2018 by King Mohammed VI of Morocco following over a decade of planning and construction by Moroccan national railway company ONCF. It is the first phase of what is planned to eventually be a 1,500 kilometres high-speed rail network in Morocco. Al Boraq trains operate over a dedicated high speed line reaching speeds of up to 320km/hr on the 186 km sector between Tangier and Kenitra. From Kenitra trains operate over an upgraded mainline for the final 137 km through Morocco’s most populous corridor via Rabat to Casablanca.
