Operator profileONCF (Office National des Chemins de Fer)
ONCF is Morocco's national railway operator. It once ran a genuine single-berth private sleeping car on the overnight Marrakesh-Tangier corridor, but this was discontinued in early 2022; today the overnight service on this route offers only shared 4-berth air-conditioned couchette compartments and ordinary seated cars, not private cabins.
Key facts
Air-conditioned couchette cars (shared 4-berth compartments) and standard 2nd-class seating cars.

No formal check-in; board at the platform.

The true private single-berth sleeping car on this route was withdrawn in early 2022 and has not been reinstated; treat the current overnight service as a couchette/seated train, not a true private sleeper, and reconfirm exact timings directly with ONCF before booking.
