Private car transfer
from Casablanca to Fez

Salé is a smaller town with a smaller tourism industry, meaning you can explore a quieter and less crowded souk. You can also visit the 14th-century Medersa for its intricately detailed mosaics and hand-carved details.

If you prefer to use Daytrip to transfer directly to Fez, you can look forward to a smooth, stress-free journey with convenient door-to-door service by a friendly, English-speaking local driver.

The city is perhaps most known for its spiritual presence, as it is the original home of the mystical branch of Islam known as Sufi. The city has historically beget many Islamic scholars and remains a vital religious and academic center.

The city is a fantastic place to look for traditional Moroccan artworks such as etched metal and shaped brass objects, including lamps and trays. These typically feature detailed Islamic motifs such as flowers and repeating geometric patterns.

Fez is also a great destination for finding a range of the country’s best cuisine, especially given its previous status as the capital. One notable dish is b'stilla, a flaky pastry containing chicken, onion, almonds, and a rich spice blend.

The city, and specifically the medina, is atop a hill, so be prepared for lots of walking (but know that the views from hilltop locations such as the famous Mereinid Tombs are well worth the effort!)

Take advantage of sightseeing

While on a private car transfer, you should consider adding a sightseeing stop or two to your journey. This will greatly elevate your travel day and allow you to see parts of Morocco you’d otherwise skip without committing to spending an extra night along the way. You will also get to break up the driving distance with stops and give yourself a more pleasant experience overall.

Train from Casablanca to Fez

There is a direct train from Casablanca to Fez, taking 4 hours and 10 minutes. The tickets cost around $11 to $21, and you should be aware that you will need to walk to your accommodation or the center of the Medina upon arrival, which is an uphill journey.

Bus from Casablanca to Fez

There is not a direct bus to Fez from Casablanca, and the closest you can get by bus is Meknès, which is about an hour outside of Fez by car. The bus will cost $9 to $16 and take 3 hours and 40 minutes to reach Meknès. There are sometimes taxis and rideshares available here, but the prices will vary and may not be reliably available.

Private driving transfer from Casablanca to Fez

The most efficient transfer option from Casablanca to Fez is a private car service such as Daytrip. This service gets you door-to-door in just 3 hours and 10 minutes, with costs starting at $54 per passenger. You will be picked up and dropped off directly at your accommodation in either city (or as close to the Medina as cars are allowed in Fez), and your friendly local driver will assist you with your luggage at either destination.

Take in Jnan Sbil Gardens

Enjoy a break from the tightly winding Medina streets by exploring the area’s only public garden, featuring fountains and a variety of plants, flowers, and palm trees. Birds enjoy cooling off here, too, lending the park a peaceful ambiance that makes for a relaxing reprieve from the city walls.

Visit the Bou Inania Madrasa

This icon of religious architecture is now open to the public, meaning you can spend a day roaming the marble courtyard and appreciating the building’s extravagant wood carvings as well as the many tile mosaics throughout the property. You can easily spend hours here wandering the grounds and noticing newly mesmerizing details around every corner.

Witness the tanneries

The tanneries are a series of clay-ware pots that hold different colored dyes used for coloring animal skins and leather products. The sight of all of the pots of dye is most remarkable from above via a rooftop terrace, but what most travelers remember about the tanneries is the strong smell. It’s worth bringing a scarf or a bit of fragrant mint with you to help you navigate the area’s sometimes overwhelming scent.

The tanneries are a crucial part of the culture in Fez, and the largest of them is the Chouara tannery, which also holds the title of the largest leather tannery worldwide.
