Children, luggage and groups on the Fes to Casablanca train

Haqqi Tours books family and group travel on this route every week. Children's fares depend on age bands set by ONCF Al Atlas intercity train, which we apply automatically; a pushchair folds into the luggage space; a table of four keeps everyone together. Larger groups - a school trip, a company, a wedding party - get seats reserved in a block and, where available, a group rate. There is no luggage allowance to worry about on the Fes to Casablanca train.

Things to do in Casablanca after the train

Casablanca is Morocco's business capital, with the Hassan II mosque on the ocean and the art-deco centre. Start with Casablanca Cathedral, the Arab League Park and the Villa des Arts, then the Hassan II Mosque and the Habous quarter. A tip from our desk: Give the driver your exact hotel address, allow extra time for the A7 and the city expressways, and ask about the nearest car access if your hotel is on a pedestrian street.

We offer tours and transfers in Casablanca as well as the train ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to take the train from Fes to Casablanca

Spring and autumn are mild and pleasant; summer is warm and humid on the coast; winter is cool with rain, and traffic is heavy on weekday mornings and evenings and on Friday afternoons. For the train itself, spring and autumn bring the best mix of availability and fares; summer and holiday periods sell out earliest, so book the Fes to Casablanca train as soon as your dates are fixed. Winter services run normally, with occasional weather delays on mountainous or coastal stretches.

Train, plane or bus from Fes to Casablanca?

Train versus plane between Fes and Casablanca comes down to time and hassle: the train leaves from and arrives right in the centre, with no baggage limits and no queues; the plane may be quicker in the air but rarely door to door. Buses exist and are cheap, but for comfort and reliability the train is the option Haqqi Tours recommends first.

Return train from Casablanca to Fes

The Casablanca to Fes train is the same service in reverse, about 3 hours 20 minutes, direct. Haqqi Tours arranges the return ticket in the same conversation; if you are not yet sure of the return date, we book the outbound now and the return when you know, with no penalty for deciding later.

How much does the train from Fes to Casablanca cost?

Train ticket prices from Fes to Casablanca move like flight fares: the earlier you book and the quieter the departure, the less you pay. The class you choose, whether you want a refundable ticket, a seat reservation or a return, and whether children are travelling all change the total. Rather than quote a figure that will be out of date tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to travel and sends it to you in the WhatsApp chat before you decide.

Just ask for two or three departures and we send the cost of each, so you can see how much the time of day changes the Fes to Casablanca train fare. We also flag family and group fares when they apply, which is where most people save the most.

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

Getting the lowest fare on the train from Fes to Casablanca is a matter of timing and flexibility. These are the levers Haqqi Tours pulls to find you a cheap train ticket:

• Choose a fixed-departure ticket if your plans are certain; flexible tickets cost more
• For families and groups, ask about group fares - four or more travellers often unlock a lower rate
• Book early - fares on this route open weeks or months ahead and the lowest tiers sell first
• 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

We are happy to be asked "what is the cheapest way to get from Fes to Casablanca by train?" - it is a question we answer many times a day, and the answer for your dates comes back through WhatsApp.

Is there a direct train from Fes to Casablanca?

Departure: Fes station

The train from Fes to Casablanca leaves from Fes station, in Fes - fes is Morocco's oldest imperial city, with Fes el-Bali, one of the largest car-free medinas in the world, and the oldest continuously running university. Plan to be at the station about 20 to 30 minutes before departure: enough to find the platform on the boards, pass any ticket gate or security check the station uses, and board without hurrying. Getting there: The airport has no train, and the airport bus goes to the station rather than the medina; petit taxis are metered but often over-quoted at arrivals, so a pre-booked private car with a fixed pick-up is simpler, and cars cannot enter the medina lanes in any case; trains from Fes Station reach Meknes, Rabat, Casablanca and Tangier.

• Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your accommodation in Fes to the station on request
• Just ask which hall or level your train leaves from - big stations have more than one
• Arrive 20-30 minutes early; the platform is shown on the boards shortly before departure
• Keep the e-ticket on your phone and the ID used for booking together - some operators check both

Arrival: Casa Voyageurs station

Arrival is at Casa Voyageurs station, and this is the moment the train wins over the plane: no baggage belt, no passport queue, no airport bus. Casablanca is Morocco's business capital, with the Hassan II mosque on the ocean and the art-deco centre. We can have a Haqqi Tours driver at the exit with your name, or simply tell you the best way to your accommodation by metro or taxi.

Arriving late? We note your arrival time and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the train, so a delay costs you nothing.
