Train, plane or bus from Casablanca to Fes?

Weighing a flight against the train from Casablanca to Fes? Add the time to the airport, check-in, security and the trip in from the arrival airport, and the train is typically as fast door to door and far less tiring - about 3 hours 20 minutes on board.

Return train from Fes to Casablanca

We book the return leg from Fes to Casablanca just as easily, and usually on the same confirmation. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles and choose the cheaper combination for your dates. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much does the train from Casablanca to Fes cost?

"How much is the train ticket from Casablanca to Fes?" is the first question we get, and the honest answer is that it depends on when you travel and when you book. Fares open months ahead at their lowest level and rise as seats sell; peak days, holidays and the first and last departures of the day sit higher; first class and flexible tickets cost more than a fixed second-class seat. Haqqi Tours arranges the current cost for the date you travel within minutes of receiving the form - no estimates, the actual fare.

What we do include in the price we send: the ticket itself in the class you chose, the seat reservation where the operator requires one, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the e-ticket and answering questions before and during the journey. There are no hidden extras added at the end.

Cheapest train ticket from Casablanca to Fes: how to pay less

The cheapest train ticket from Casablanca to Fes is almost always the one booked earliest for an off-peak departure. Our booking desk applies the same rules on every booking:

• Travel mid-week and mid-day - Tuesday to Thursday departures after the morning rush are normally the cheapest
• Avoid the first and last trains of the day, which carry commuters and business passengers at higher fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day, or by an hour, often halves the fare
• Ask about children's, youth and senior fares - most operators on this route discount them
• Book both directions together - a return or two singles, whichever comes out cheaper on your dates
• Choose a fixed-departure ticket if your plans are certain; flexible tickets cost more

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest train from Casablanca to Fes that day, and how much you would save by moving to the next one.
