Fes Train Station to Fes Medina transfer: the easiest way to get there
The best way to get from Fes Train Station to Fes Medina depends on what you are carrying and who you are travelling with, but for almost everyone arriving with luggage, family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the answer. Haqqi Tours' Fes Train Station to Fes Medina airport transfer is met at arrivals, priced in advance and driven by someone who does this route every week.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Fes Train Station to Fes Medina route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Fes Medina in Fes is like, where to stay and eat, when to travel, where you meet your driver at Fes Train Station, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
Arriving at Fes Train Station
Fes Train Station is the city's main rail terminal in the Ville Nouvelle, about 4 km from the medina and 14 km from Fes Airport, with Al Atlas and regional trains to Meknes, Rabat, Casablanca and Tangier.
Airports feel bigger after a long flight, and Fes Train Station is no exception. That is why your confirmation carries the exact meeting point for this airport, the driver's name and a phone number: when you walk out of arrivals you know where to look. The driver has been following your flight, so a late landing or a slow bag belt changes nothing about your Fes Train Station to Fes Medina transfer.
Fes Train Station to Fes Medina at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Fes Train Station to Fes Medina, door to door. Vehicles: Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers) - Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with room for luggage. Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at Fes Train Station, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup. Booking: the form on this page or a WhatsApp message; confirmation in writing within minutes, in Arabic or English.
Taxi or private transfer from Fes Train Station to Fes Medina?
An airport taxi from Fes Train Station to Fes Medina means finding the official rank, waiting your turn, and paying whatever the meter shows at the end - more at night, more in traffic, and sometimes more if the driver takes the long way. A private transfer from Haqqi Tours replaces all of that with one agreed price for the whole car, confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.
For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Fes Train Station to Fes Medina per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Fes Medina involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.
There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Fes Medina, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.
Public transport from Fes Train Station to Fes Medina: is there a bus, train or metro?
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.
If you are weighing the Fes Train Station to Fes Medina options, think about the last kilometre. Trains and buses stop at stations; hotels are somewhere else. With a private transfer the driver takes the route that ends at your door in Fes, helps with the bags, and the price agreed on WhatsApp does not change if the trains are on strike or the road is slow.
About Fes Medina
The old walled medina, Fes el-Bali, lies about 17 km north-east of Fes Airport and about 4 km from Fes Train Station. Fes el-Bali is the world's largest car-free urban area and one of the best-preserved medieval cities in the Arab world, a maze of thousands of lanes inside high walls. It holds the Al-Qarawiyyin mosque and university, founded in the ninth century, the Bou Inania Madrasa with its carved cedar and tilework, the Chouara tannery and the lively souks. Riads and guesthouses are hidden behind plain doors, and cars cannot enter, so the drive ends at one of the gates and porters or a guide take you the last stretch on foot or by handcart.
Fes Medina in Fes is part of a city that visitors know by its neighbourhoods: Bab Boujloud, Batha and Talaa Kebira, Borj Nord and the Merenid hills and Route d'Ifrane and the Saiss plain. Whichever of them you are staying in, the Fes Train Station to Fes Medina transfer is priced for the whole vehicle, door to door.
Things to do in Fes Medina
Once you have checked in, Fes Medina is worth exploring: Al-Qarawiyyin mosque and university, Bou Inania Madrasa, Chouara tannery, Bab Boujloud, the Blue Gate and Souks and craft workshops. Your driver can point some of them out on the way in, and the WhatsApp desk can arrange a car for a day out if you want to see more.
Where to stay in Fes Medina
Where you stay in Fes Medina makes no difference to the price of the transfer, which is fixed for the whole vehicle. The places most travellers choose: Near Bab Boujloud, Talaa Kebira, Batha quarter and Riads inside the medina - and any other address is fine too.
Cars stop at a gate, so ask your riad which gate is closest and whether a porter will meet you; carry a small bag for the lanes and keep the riad's phone number handy.
Eating well after the Fes Train Station to Fes Medina drive
Food is part of the arrival. Around Fes Medina you will find mint tea, pastilla, lamb tagine with prunes and chicken with preserved lemon and olives, and most of our drivers can tell you where they eat themselves. If you would rather go straight from Fes Train Station to a table than to the hotel, mention it when you book and the driver drops you close by.
Best time to travel to Fes Medina
March to May and September to November are the best months; July and August are hot, and winter evenings are cool with some rain; the medina is busiest at weekends and during holidays, and traffic in the Ville Nouvelle peaks at morning and evening rush hours.
Whatever the month, the transfer runs around the clock and the fixed price is the same at 3 a.m. as at noon. What the season affects is journey time, and our drivers adjust the route and the pickup plan for Fes Medina accordingly - one more reason to give us the flight number when you book.
Meeting your driver at Fes Train Station
Where you meet your driver depends on Fes Train Station: a set meeting point inside arrivals, a designated exit, or a name board held just after customs. Rather than guess, we send the exact instructions with your WhatsApp confirmation - the meeting place, the driver's name and number, and what to do if you cannot see them. If your flight is delayed, we know: every Fes Train Station to Fes Medina transfer is flight-tracked and the pickup moves with your real landing time.
Waiting time after landing is included, and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps everyone informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Fes Train Station.
Our vehicles for the Fes Medina transfer
For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.

As a guide, the sedan suits one to three people with normal suitcases, the minivan or GMC a family or group of up to seven with their luggage, and the Sprinter larger parties of up to thirteen; there is cold water in the car, phone chargers in most models, and no smoking.
Who books the Fes Medina transfer
Families are our most frequent guests on this route: a private car means the children are strapped into proper seats, the pushchair goes in the back, and nobody is counting change for tickets. Groups of friends and extended families take the Sprinter or a minivan so the whole party travels together from Fes Train Station to Fes Medina on one fixed price. Older travellers book it for the door-to-door help with the bags, and couples for a calm start to the trip instead of a taxi queue.
The transfer is the first thing most guests book with us and rarely the last; day trips from Fes Medina and the ride back to Fes Train Station are arranged in the same conversation.
How to book your Fes Medina transfer
Booking is simple: fill in the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, the date, the number of passengers and your hotel in Fes Medina.

Good to know before you land at Fes Train Station
Tell us your riad or hotel and flight or train number; for the medina ask which gate is closest and whether a porter will meet you, and plan Chefchaouen or the desert as a separate road day.
Keep your phone charged and roaming or Wi-Fi on for the WhatsApp thread; the driver's number is in your confirmation and a message on landing at Fes Train Station is the quickest way to say you are through.
If you are two households or a group, say how many bags as well as how many people; luggage decides the vehicle more often than passengers do.
