Africa's first high speed train was opened to the public in Morocco at the end of last year. The project has cost more than two billion dollars with just under half of that coming from the French government 鈥� much of the rest of the funding being provided by Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates. Known as al-Borak which means a 鈥渉orse with wings鈥�, it aims to cut journey times by half between Tangier in the north and Casablanca. Nora Fakim reports on how the project has been received by the Moroccan public.
