The Circuit International Automobile Moulay El Hassan (formerly Marrakech Street Circuit , Marrakech Race Track , Circuit de Marrakech ) is a temporary street circuit in Marrakech ( Morocco km) with a length of 2.971. In 2009 a race took place for the first time on the 4.545 km long track. At the end of 2015, the course was heavily rebuilt and shortened, and the route has had twelve curves since then.

In 2010 the FIA Formula 2 championship took place on this racetrack, and in 2012 the Auto GP World Series started in Marrakech. The track was renamed Circuit International Automobile Moulay el Hassan in early 2012 . Moulay el Hassan (* 2003) is the heir to the throne of Morocco.
On November 12, 2016, the Marrakech ePrix 2016 was held on the track as part of the FIA Formula E Championship 2016/17 .
