Casa-Voyageurs Railway Station

Transportation Buildings

Casa-Voyageurs is the main railway station of Casablanca, Morocco, and the largest railway hub in the country, located in the city's Belvedere neighborhood. It was built by the Compagnie des chemins de fer du Maroc during the French protectorate era and opened in 1923, and the original building still stands alongside a 2018 expansion built to serve the Al Boraq high speed line, which began operating in November 2018 as North Africa's first high speed rail service. The station has kept eight platforms from its original construction through the modern expansion, connects directly to Line T1 of the Casablanca tramway, and links Casablanca to destinations including Marrakesh, Tangier, Fez and Mohammed V International Airport.
