Casablanca to Fez Private Transfer Guide
Fez, one of Morocco's four imperial cities, is an essential destination for anyone visiting the country. Its medieval medina, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the best preserved in the world. The Casablanca to Fez private transfer lets you reach this fascinating city in comfort, from Mohammed V airport or central Casablanca.
The Casablanca to Fez Route
The most common itinerary passes through Rabat via the A3 motorway. The total distance is approximately 300 km and the journey takes between 3 and 4 hours depending on traffic. An alternative passes through Meknes (60 km west of Fez), adding about 30 minutes to the journey but offering the opportunity to visit another imperial city.
Recommended Variant: via Meknes
If you have a few extra hours, stop in Meknes. Former capital of Sultan Moulay Ismail, the city has imposing ramparts, the magnificent Bab Mansour gate and authentic souks. From Meknes, the road to Fez passes through the fertile plains of the Saïss.

If you arrive in Casablanca and want to head straight to Fez from the airport, Welcomorocco offers this direct transfer. Your driver meets you at the arrivals exit and takes you to the heart of Fez, right up to your riad or hotel entrance. Total duration is approximately 3.5 to 4.5 hours from the airport.
