Mohammedia is best covered on foot in the centre, by train to Casablanca and Rabat, and by taxi or bus for local trips. There is no tram or metro in Mohammedia: the train is the backbone of travel between cities.
1. Getting around the city
**On foot.** The centre, the corniche and the area around the port are walkable. This is the simplest way to link the station, the medina and the seafront, which sit close together.
**Petit taxi.** For trips inside the city, the petit taxi is the usual choice. It does not leave the city limits and takes only three passengers. Ask for the meter before setting off, or agree the price before getting in if no meter is used.
**Grand taxi.** For neighbouring towns, grand taxis leave from their stands. They only leave once the seats are filled, and the price is settled before departure. Expect to wait if the car is not full.
**Bus.** City buses serve the station and the city's districts. Casabus is the operator named for the station service.
**Car.** The coastal road runs through the city, linking Casablanca to the south with the north towards Rabat. By car, allow for rush hours around Casablanca, which slow the approach to the big neighbouring city.
2. Getting to and from the city
**Train, the safest bet.** Mohammedia station is an ONCF station, served notably by the TNR fast shuttle on the Casablanca – Kenitra line. It links Mohammedia to Casa-Port and Casa-Voyageurs in one direction, and to Bouznika, Skhirat, Temara, Rabat-Agdal and Kenitra in the other. The station was renovated in 2009. The Al Boraq high-speed train runs through this corridor without stopping at Mohammedia: to travel fast, change at Casablanca or Kenitra.
**Coach.** Intercity coaches serve the region, and the city's bus station is the local departure point. For longer journeys, the train is simpler, because not every coach service starts in Mohammedia itself: some services quoted between Casablanca and Rabat run via Ain Sebaa, south of the city.
**Plane.** Mohammedia has no airport. The nearest airport is Mohammed V Airport, south of Casablanca. The simplest way there is to take the train to a Casablanca station, then the airport train or a taxi.
**Port.** The port of Mohammedia is an industrial and commercial port. This page lists no passenger ferry from Mohammedia: to cross by boat, you must go through another port.
3. Commuting in general terms
Mohammedia is a commuter city. Many residents work or study in Casablanca, and the train is the natural daily trip: the station is in the city centre, and trains on the Casablanca – Kenitra line run often through the day.
Inside the city itself, distances are short: centre, beach and port join up on foot or by petit taxi. For districts further out and the northern beaches, the bus or a taxi is more practical than walking.
In the evening and at weekends, allow more time: taxis leave full, and beach traffic loads the coastal road.
4. What a newcomer needs to know first
- **Take the train to Casablanca and Rabat.** Check the day's times on the ONCF site before leaving: this page gives no timetable and no fare, because the figures found in guides disagree with each other.
- **Station in the city centre.** The station is near the medina and the corniche: you can arrive on foot or by petit taxi.
- **Petit taxi: three passengers, city only.** A petit taxi does not leave Mohammedia. For another city, take the train or a grand taxi.
- **Grand taxi: price before departure.** Agree the price before getting in, and expect to wait until the car is full.
- **Airport: go via Casablanca.** There is no airport in Mohammedia. Allow for the train trip to Casablanca, then the link to Mohammed V Airport.
- **This page is general information.** It does not sell or check any ticket, taxi or carrier.
