Fes Train Station to Merzouga transfer: the easiest way to get there
The best way to get from Fes Train Station to Merzouga 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 Merzouga 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 Merzouga 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 Merzouga is like, what to see there and where to stay, 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.
A little knowledge of Fes Train Station makes the arrival calmer. Note which terminal or hall your flight uses, keep your phone charged for the WhatsApp thread, and expect the driver to be exactly where the confirmation said - by the arrivals exit with a name board, or at the airport's designated meeting point. From there it is a short walk to the car and the Fes Train Station to Merzouga drive begins.
Fes Train Station to Merzouga at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Fes Train Station to Merzouga, 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 Merzouga?
The airport taxi fare from Fes Train Station to Merzouga is unpredictable: meters, night tariffs, tolls and traffic all move it, and you only learn the total at the door. A pre-booked Fes Train Station to Merzouga transfer is the opposite - one fixed cost for the vehicle, however long the drive takes, with the price agreed before your trip.
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 Merzouga per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Merzouga 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 Merzouga, 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 Merzouga: is there a bus, train or metro?
Public transport from Fes Train Station runs mainly into Fes itself: 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. Reaching Merzouga from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.
Many of our guests have tried the public route into Merzouga once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Fes Train Station to Merzouga transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
About Merzouga
Merzouga lies about 470 km south-east of Fes, beside the Erg Chebbi dunes. Merzouga is a small desert village at the foot of Erg Chebbi, the great sea of orange dunes rising to about 150 metres near the Algerian border. Guesthouses and tented camps stand along the edge of the sand, and the main activities are sunset and sunrise on the dunes, a dromedary trek or a 4x4 ride across the erg, and stargazing under a dark sky. Nearby are the village of Khamlia, known for its Gnawa music, the Dayet Srji seasonal lake and the town of Rissani. From Fes it is a long but memorable two-day journey.

Meeting your driver at Fes Train Station
Every airport is laid out differently, and Fes Train Station is no exception: some airports have a fixed meeting point inside the terminal, some have a specific exit where drivers may wait, and at others the driver stands just beyond customs with a sign. Because of that we do not print one rule here. When we confirm your Fes Train Station to Merzouga transfer on WhatsApp, we tell you exactly where your driver will be, with the driver's name and a phone number you can message the moment you land.
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 Merzouga 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.
All vehicles are insured and driven by professional, licensed drivers who know the Fes Train Station to Merzouga road. Child seats are provided on request, and there is no extra charge for reasonable luggage.
Every vehicle is checked and cleaned between journeys, and the drivers know the hotels of Merzouga and their side streets, so you are delivered to the right gate, not just the main road.
Who books the Merzouga 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 Merzouga 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.
Many guests add a second leg later in the trip: a day out from Merzouga, an onward transfer or the return to Fes Train Station. It is all handled in the chat you already have open.

Let us know the driver language you would prefer; it depends on the country, the city and the hour, so we cannot promise it, but we do our best to match it and the WhatsApp desk itself always works in Arabic and English.
Merzouga to Fes Train Station: the return transfer
Most guests book the return at the same time: a Merzouga to Fes Train Station transfer from the hotel door, timed to your departure, with the same fixed-price approach. If your plans change during the trip, message the desk and the pickup time is adjusted.
Many guests book both directions together for a single confirmation with two times on it; if the return flight changes during the stay, one message moves the pickup to the new time.
