Children, luggage and groups on the Meknes to Fes train
Three things people worry about on the train from Meknes to Fes and need not: children, bags and groups. Children get their own fare band and a seat next to you; suitcases go on the racks free of charge; groups sit together in reserved blocks.

Things to do in Fes after the train
The reasons passengers take the train to Fes are Al-Qarawiyyin, Chouara tannery, Nejjarine Museum of Wooden Arts, Dar Batha and Royal Palace gates. 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. Eat chicken with preserved lemon and olives, harira soup and couscous on Fridays while you are there.
If you want the day in Fes organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it on WhatsApp.
Best time to take the train from Meknes to Fes
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. On the train, the difference between seasons shows in availability more than comfort: peak-week departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for July, August, Christmas, New Year and Easter journeys between Meknes and Fes.
Train, plane or bus from Meknes to Fes?
Weighing a flight against the train from Meknes to Fes? Add the time to the airport, check-in, security and the trip in from the arrival airport, and the train is normally as fast door to door and far less tiring - about 45 minutes on board. The bus is the budget option, worth it for some travellers, slower for all. We book whichever suits you; on this route the train is our first recommendation.
Return train from Fes to Meknes
We book the return leg from Fes to Meknes just as easily, and generally 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. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.
How much does the train from Meknes to Fes cost?
"How much is the train ticket from Meknes 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 provides the current cost for your date quickly 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 railway requires one, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the electronic ticket and answering questions before and during the journey. There are no hidden extras added at the end.
Cheapest train ticket from Meknes to Fes: how to pay less
The cheapest train ticket from Meknes to Fes is almost always the one booked earliest for an off-peak departure. Our booking desk applies the same rules on every booking:
- 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 passengers frequently 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 typically the cheapest
- Avoid the first and last trains of the day, which carry commuters and business travellers at higher fares
- Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day, or by an hour, often halves the fare
When you fill out the form, mention if you are flexible. We compare the fares across the day and send the cheapest Meknes to Fes train ticket first, then the alternatives.

Timetable of the Meknes to Fes train
The exact Meknes to Fes train times change with the season and the day of the week, so we send the timetable for your specific date rather than a list that may be wrong by the time you read it. As a rule the service runs many a day, each taking around 45 minutes. Weekend timetables are sometimes thinner in the early morning; holiday periods add extra trains and sell out earlier.
If you are connecting to a flight or another train at Fes, tell us: we build in a safe margin and choose a departure that leaves room for a delay.

Platforms on long-distance routes are announced shortly before departure, so watch the boards; larger stations have separate halls for high-speed and regional trains, and we tell you which one applies to your ticket. Meknes has no commercial airport; the nearest is Fes-Saiss Airport about 75 km away and Casablanca and Rabat airports are further; trains on the Al Atlas lines connect the city with Fes, Rabat and Casablanca in comfort, while a private car is the practical choice for Volubilis, Moulay Idriss, Ifrane and the airport.

Classes and what it is like on board the Meknes to Fes train
What is the train from Meknes to Fes like inside? Modern coaches with reserved seats, tables for two or four, racks for suitcases, sockets and usually Wi-Fi of varying quality. In 2nd class and 1st class the differences are space and quiet more than anything else. Over about 45 minutes the extra comfort of the higher class is worth it for some passengers and not for others; we tell you the cost of both and let you choose.
- Wi-Fi on many trains on this route - useful for work, not reliable for streaming
- Quiet coaches and family areas on selected services - let us know when booking
- Bicycles, pushchairs and large luggage accepted within the rail company's rules, which we clarify
- Pets are allowed on many services with a small ticket - tell us if one is travelling
