On November 15, King Mohammed VI and French President Emmanuel Macron inaugurated the high speed train. The train departed for the first time from Tangier with King Mohammed VI and Macron taking the first ride.
The King also inaugurated the tripling of the Casablanca-Kenitra railway tracks, the complete doubling of the Casablanca-Marrakech railway tracks, the stations dedicated to high speed trains (Rabat-Agdal, Tangier, Kenitra, and Casa-Voyageurs), and the new stations of Oujda and Benguerir. The large-scale projects cost MAD 10.5 billion.
