Common questions
Is there a direct train from Casablanca to Fez?
Yes. ONCF runs direct intercity trains from Casa-Voyageurs to Fès roughly every one to two hours, taking about 3 h 30 to 4 hours. Some trains also stop at Casa Port. The Al Boraq high-speed train serves only Casablanca–Rabat–Kenitra–Tangier, not Fès. Check the ONCF website or app for the current timetable.
What is the cheapest way from Casablanca to Fez?
Second-class train and coach fares are similar, roughly MAD 100–150. CTM and Supratours coaches are comfortable and reliable, but trains are faster and more frequent. First class on the train costs a bit more but gives a reserved seat, which is useful on busy weekends and holidays.
Should I drive from Casablanca to Fez?
The motorways are good and the drive takes about 3 h 30, with tolls of roughly MAD 100–130. Driving makes sense if you plan to continue to Meknes, Volubilis or the Middle Atlas. Avoid driving inside the Fès medina, which is pedestrian; use guarded parking at the gates and walk in.
Can I visit Fez as a day trip from Casablanca?
Not realistically. With about 4 hours of travel each way, you would see very little of the vast Fès medina. Most travellers spend at least two nights in Fès, often staying in a riad inside the medina, and combine it with Meknes and Volubilis on a day trip.
