Overview: car trip from Tangier to Fez
A trip from Tangier to Fez will take you down along the northwestern coast of Morocco by the Atlantic Ocean to Kenitra. From Kenitra, you’ll begin your journey inland and get to Fez, about 125 miles (200 km) from the coast. The A5 and A2 highways reliably connect major cities in Morocco and cover long distances in a short amount of time.
Morocco is still up-and-coming in traveler circles and your trip is an excellent opportunity to see the more obscure parts of North Africa. Unlike a bus or train, a private driver can take you right where you’d like to go in between the major cities, so let’s get started!
About Fez
Fez is the oldest of Morocco’s imperial cities, or historical capitals, and is nicknamed the “Athens of Africa.” Visitors traveling from Tangier to Fez are amazed at the sheer amount of preserved medieval buildings and stunning Islamic architecture in its Medina district.
Fez is also home to one of the oldest universities in the world, the University of al-Qarawiyyin, which has been educating students for 1,100 years. Fez is more inland than Tangier and has more of that old-world feel than the coastal cities, so it’s great to see both places during your visit.

These tips can help your drive from Tangier to Fez be the best that it can be!
Fes? Fez?
You might see Fes or Fez on maps and travel guides. Don’t fear, these are both referring to the same city!
Choose your outfit wisely
If you’ll be visiting religious sites, longer and looser clothing is required. Your shoulders, chest, and knees should be covered regardless of gender. But this dress code is also the best way to dress for sun protection as well. Loose clothing keeps air circulating near your skin, and long sleeves protect your skin from sunburn. Pick clothing made from breathable material, like linen, and avoid uncomfortable synthetics.
How to get from Tangier to Fez
Your vacation is just getting started! Here are three ways to travel from Tangier to Fez.
Private car service from Tangier to Fez
If you want the freedom and flexibility of a rental car without all the liability of driving in a foreign country, you should hire a private driver. Plus, you don’t have to deal with the hassle of returning the car or refueling.

Your driver will pick you up from your front door in Tangier and take you to all the stops you’ve booked along the route to Fez. Once in Fez, you’ll have help with your luggage and won’t have to return a rental car! Secure your ride for around $330.
Trains from Tangier to Fez

Things to do when you get to Fez
After a long, exciting day of travel from Tangier to Fez, get a good night’s sleep so you can see all Fez has to offer, starting with these activities:
Go back in time in the Medina
The Fes el-Bali Medina is a UNESCO World Heritage site spanning 540 acres with over 9,000 winding cobblestone streets. It is the most complete and preserved medieval city of the Arab world. Enter the medina through the Bab Bou Jeloud Gate, or Blue Gate, to start your trip in the oldest section. With such a large distance to cover, schedule an entire day for this part of your trip.
The Medina is completely car-free and its maze-like streets will take you back in time to its founding in the 9th century. It has over 300 mosques and dozens of administrative buildings, as it served as the capital for Morocco multiple times.
Here you’ll find thousands of shops in the _souks, _or bazaars, where you can buy handmade rugs, leather goods, spices, perfumes, pottery, and jewelry. Watch craftsmen make pots and rugs right in their shops, and purchase a fez, the traditional hat for this city.
Have a spa day in a hammam
Have a traditional Moroccan hammam experience, where you can relax and rejuvenate with a steam bath, exfoliating scrub, and aromatic massage. Enjoy these centuries-old wellness practices in one of the oldest cities in the Arab world.
When is the best time to visit Fez
Plan your visit to Morocco in the spring or autumn for the best experience. During these shoulder seasons, the average temperature is about 77° F (25° C) and sunny. You’ll find a slight difference in temperature and less of the ocean breeze as you leave the coast of Tangier to Fez, which sits about 200 miles (300 km) inland.
The Moroccan heat is very intense in the summer, especially for inland cities like Fez. Temperatures in July and August regularly reach 96° F (36° C) with a very high UV index. If you’re unaccustomed to extreme heat, avoid the summers in Morocco.

Feb 28, 2025Comfortable and Safe Rides in Mexico
“Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.”

Feb 20, 2025Great way to travel and see some sights on the way
“We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.”
