The route from Sale to Rabat is served by the ONCF's Intercity trains, specifically the Al Boraq and the Intercity express services. Both offer a smooth travel experience between these two cities. The Al Boraq train, which operates on select routes, achieves speeds of up to 320 km/h (199 mph) on dedicated high-speed rail segments, making it the fastest option available. The journey typically takes around 30 minutes, as this service has fewer stops between Sale and Rabat, primarily stopping at key stations like Kenitra.
On the other hand, the Intercity express trains run at lower speeds, ranging from 120 km/h to 160 km/h (75 mph to 99 mph), and complete the travel in about 1 hour depending on specific stops along the route. While both services provide comfortable seating and standard onboard amenities, the Al Boraq is recommended for travelers prioritizing speed, whereas the Intercity express trains present a more balanced option with additional stops, allowing access to various regional destinations.
