Clandestinity in Tanger
by eskultor about Hotel Tanjah-Flandria
This is a 4 stars place, new building, clean, modern, with all kind of services. It has an expensive but nice bar where you can drink whatever you want. If you feel that you need action, please, dont dubitate, ask for the disco an prepare yourself for a unique experience!! Follow the guide into clandestine doors, corridors and rooms inside the Hotel. Discos in Morocco are not as they use to be in occidental world, maybe, if you have been in an "Antro de ficheras" will understand, a place full of beautiful girls, but everything has a price!! Dont be afraid, you only need to know that you will spend too much money.

Getting to Marrakesh from Tangier
by i_heart_travel
I an trying to plan a short trip to Barcelona and Marrakesh- spending about 3 days in each city. I'm interested in the night train and am looking for information on cost, timing and if I can get a ticket online or the day I arrive at Tangier. Hoping to go in late February.
Also concerned about luggage as I like to travel with a larger hard case with wheels. I know from past international trips that's difficult. I'm traveling with my husband- might be better to take 2 smaller cases.
Any advice is appreaciated!

I believe you can only get Moroccan train tickets in Morocco (or so I read) BUT apparently they are plentiful

Always worth looking at SEAT61 for train travel info. This is about travel within Morocco

certainly two smaller case sounds like the answer. The overflight train between Tangier and Marrakesh has 4 berth couchettes and I do not recall any difficulty in storage of cases on the train. Difficulty is buying a ticket in advance ! There is a suggestion contained in the SEAT61 page if you are prepared to pay a premium.
You may know that VUELING and ROYAL AIR MAROC fly Barcelona - Marrakech.

The train leaves at 9pm and arrives in Marrakech at 8.05am the price of a bunk in a sleeping car sharing with 3 other is 350DH, The attendant will help you with your luggage for a small tip ! If there are 2 of you another tip will ensure you get the car to yourselves. For security reasons the doors leading to other parts of the train is locked at night. For more information look at

thank you both puerto_lover and windcity. You both have so many helpful messages on this board. I checked out Seat61 and LOVE the site. I think my husband and I both agree that the train/ferry is part and parcel of the journey- at least one way. The trip is more money than I originally budgeted for but I think worth it and still less money than South Africa with Safari! I'm narrowing in my hotel choices in both to find ones with good locations and good prices while not costing an fortune! Thank you again. Great advice.
