Is there a night train between Marrakesh and Fez?

No, there are currently no night trains with sleeper cars between Marrakesh and Fez. It is possible to leave Marrakesh on the 7:00 PM train and be in Fez at 1:27 AM; however, we don’t recommend arriving in a new city so late at night.

How many days in Fez is enough?

Give yourself 3 days to see Fez’s main sites and take in the atmosphere without feeling rushed. If you are visiting during national or religious holidays, take that into consideration when planning your trip, as some sites may be closed to tours.

How long is the train ride from Marrakesh to Fez?

Around 6.5 hours! ONCF’s trains whisk passengers across the country almost every hour of the day from Marrakesh’s main railway station, with the last one leaving at 7:00 PM. The trains in Morocco are relatively reliable and punctual, if not a bit slow.

Is it worth visiting Fez?

100%! Fez is among the most well-preserved cities from the ancient Arab world and has been the meeting point of African, Arab, and European trade for over 1000 years. It still has that authentic, old-world feel but with modern amenities.

What is the best way to get from Marrakesh to Fez?

The best way to travel depends on your needs! If you’re trying to get to Fez fast, take a 1-hour flight with Ryanair. If you’re looking for a deeper cultural experience, hire a driver to get to the sites you’d like on your schedule.

How do I go from Marrakesh to Fez?

If you’re driving, the highways on this route will take you to all the major cities. Starting in Marrakesh, take the A2 highway to Rabat then transfer to the A1 towards Casablanca. From Casablanca, the A3 leads you straight to Fez.

Professional, friendly drivers

“We just completed our fifth DayTrip journey this year with excellent, friendly, professional drivers in Morocco, Italy and Mexico. All were experts on the local scene and very accommodating to our particular needs. In Morocco we scheduled brief stops in Rabat and the Roman ruin of Volubilis on our way from Marrakech to Fez. One of our three trips in Mexico involved negotiating a challenging road over the Sierra Madre Mountains from Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido. The driver was highly skilled and midway through the seven hour trip we stopped for lunch at a spectacular restaurant high in the mountains with a beautiful view.”

A professional company

“We used Daytrip on 3 occasions during our visit to Morocco this month . Each trip ,Marrakesh to Fez, Fez to Essiouira and back to Marrakesh. Each driver was excellent and could not have been more helpful . This is a very professional company and when considering whether to rent a car and drive or use Daytrip I would recommend Daytrip every time in Morocco for a relaxing safe trip . ”

4 door-to door transfers

“We had four transfers with Daytrip: from Marbella to Tarifa, then from Tarifa to Chefchaouen, from there to Fez and from there to Marrakesh. Definitely the right move! We had two cases and 2 pieces of cabin luggage and we would not have done this well on local buses in Morocco. Trains didn't go the routes we needed. This might have cost as little extra, but it was so worth it. All 4 drivers were punctual and very polite. One was a little unsociable, but the other 3 were great! We got heaps of information and advice from them. Having our own personal driver meant we could ask for rest stops as we needed them and being locals, they knew where to best stop for Westerners (I'm talking about toilets). On two of the transfers we did side-trips, where the drivers organised tour guides for us. On one transfer, we had cancelled a side-trip and the driver, who knew about this, made sure to at least drive past where we would have stopped. We will absolutely be using Daytrip again in the future.”

The Daytrip driver advantage

Local knowledge about the route from Marrakesh to Fès
Including available sights:
English speaking*
All Daytrip drivers speak English* as well as their native language (and sometimes additional languages too!). They'll be happy to discuss local history and culture with you, as well as answer any questions you may have. And because they speak the language, they're able to provide you with a unique opportunity to connect with local culture. *Drivers for Lite service aren't required to speak English but must meet all other standards.
Safety first!
We screen all our drivers for criminal and traffic records, and personally interview each one. We also inspect their cars for safety, comfort, and reliability. All cars must be less than ten years old, in excellent operating condition, and insured as required by local law. And because our drivers are locals, they're familiar with the rules and customs of the road.
