- The adjacent Mohammed V – Gare de Rabat stop serves Rabat–Salé Tramway Line 1.
- Al Boraq stops at Rabat Agdal, not Rabat Ville.
- Check the station-specific ONCF timetable for your travel date and destination.
How do Rabat Ville and Rabat Agdal differ?
Rabat Ville and Rabat Agdal are separate ONCF stations, so check the station name on your ticket before setting out. Rabat Ville sits on Avenue Mohammed V in central Rabat; from the hotel, Rabat Agdal is about an 11-minute drive.
ONCF trains, including Al Atlas and TNR services, serve Rabat Ville. Al Boraq high-speed trains stop at Rabat Agdal instead, so the distinction matters when you are planning an intercity journey. For a broader first-day route around the centre, this one-day Rabat itinerary from the centre pairs naturally with station-based orientation.
How do you get from Rabat Ville to local transport?
The Mohammed V – Gare de Rabat tram stop is on Avenue Mohammed V beside Rabat Ville station. It serves Line 1 of the Rabat–Salé Tramway, giving you a local public-transport connection at the station.
The tramway operator provides a network map and timetable. Passengers can buy and validate tickets through the Tram Mobile app. ALSA’s Rabat network also includes bus line LH1 between Gare Rabat Ville and Stade Moulay El Hassan.
Which station should you use for onward rail travel?
Choose your station according to the train service printed on your ticket: Rabat Ville serves Al Atlas and TNR trains, while Al Boraq stops at Rabat Agdal. ONCF’s published Al Atlas timetable includes both stations, but it does not establish one fixed schedule for every day.
Check the station-specific timetable for your chosen date and destination before planning around a departure. If your trip starts at the airport, how to get from Rabat-Salé Airport to Rabat City Centre covers that journey.
Before you go
Schedules and ticket arrangements can change. Check the official site before you go: use ONCF’s site for train times and the Rabat–Salé Tramway site for tram information. The available bus route listing does not provide usable departure times or frequencies, so confirm current ALSA information when planning a bus journey.
