Full Description
Rabat Airport to Fes transfer: the easiest way to get there
Getting from Rabat Airport to Fes should be the easy part of the journey. With a private transfer it is: you tell us your flight number and your hotel, we confirm the price of the Rabat Airport to Fes transfer on WhatsApp, and on the day a driver meets you at the arrivals hall and takes you straight to the door. No taxi rank, no ticket machines, no changing between buses with suitcases.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Rabat Airport to Fes 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 is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Rabat Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
Arriving at Rabat Airport (RBA)
Rabat-Salé Airport (RBA) is the capital's compact airport in Salé, about 10 km north-east of central Rabat, with no railway station at the terminal and around two hours to Fes and three hours to Tangier by road.
Whichever hall you come out of, the routine for a Rabat Airport to Fes transfer is the same: collect your bags, clear passport control, switch on your phone, and follow the meeting instruction from your WhatsApp confirmation. Your driver already knows your flight has landed - every pickup at Rabat Airport is tracked against the live arrival time - so there is no need to call, though a message is always welcome.
Searches for "RBA to Fes" or "RBA airport transfer" land here for a reason: RBA is the airport code for Rabat Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Fes.
Rabat Airport to Fes at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Rabat Airport to Fes, 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 Rabat Airport, 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 Rabat Airport to Fes?
An airport taxi from Rabat Airport to Fes 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 Rabat Airport to Fes per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Fes 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, 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 Rabat Airport to Fes: is there a bus, train or metro?
Public transport from Rabat Airport runs mainly into Rabat itself: there is no train at Rabat-Salé Airport; a city bus and taxis run from the terminal, and the ONCF stations in the city are a taxi ride away. A private car is the simplest way to reach a hotel in the medina, Agdal or Hay Riad, especially with luggage, and onward travel to Casablanca, Fes or Tangier is easy by car. Reaching Fes from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.
So the honest comparison for Fes is this: public transport is the cheapest option for one person with a cabin bag and time to spare, and a private Rabat Airport to Fes transfer is the better one for everybody else - two or more travellers, families, older relatives, anyone landing late, anyone with proper luggage. The price is per vehicle, not per person, which is why a family of four often pays less than it would on four bus or train tickets plus the taxi at the end.
About Fes
Fes lies about 195 km east of Rabat Airport, inland. Fes is Morocco's oldest imperial city and its spiritual and craft capital, the site of Fes el-Bali, the world's largest car-free medina. Inside its UNESCO-listed walls stand the Al-Qarawiyyin mosque and library, the Bou Inania Madrasa, the traditional tanneries and thousands of workshops, while the Merenid Tombs on the hill give a wide view over the rooftops. The new town of Ville Nouvelle has modern hotels and restaurants. From Rabat the drive east along the A2 motorway is easy and Fes also serves as the base for Meknes, Volubilis and the Middle Atlas.
Things to do in Fes
What to see in Fes: Fes el-Bali medina, Al-Qarawiyyin, Tanneries, Bou Inania Madrasa and Merenid Tombs. Ask the driver which to do first on the drive from Rabat Airport - they know the area, and the desk arranges transport for any of them later in your stay.
Rabat itself is within reach for a day: the Kasbah of the Udayas, the Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.
Where to stay in Fes
Where you stay in Fes makes no difference to the price of the transfer, which is fixed for the whole vehicle. The places most travellers choose: Medina riads, Ville Nouvelle and Batha area - and any other address is fine too.
Cars only reach the medina gates, so ask your riad to send a porter to Bab Boujloud or Bab Rcif.
Meeting your driver at Rabat Airport
Every airport is laid out differently, and Rabat Airport 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 Rabat Airport to Fes 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 Rabat Airport.
Our vehicles for the Fes 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.
Families get child seats on request, and groups with a lot of luggage are matched to a vehicle with room to spare. Tell us on WhatsApp what you are bringing and we take care of the rest.
Every vehicle is checked and cleaned between journeys, and the drivers know the hotels of Fes and their side streets, so you are delivered to the right gate, not just the main road.
Who books the Fes transfer
Who uses a private transfer from Rabat Airport to Fes? Couples who would rather not start a holiday in a taxi queue; families who need child seats and space for a pushchair; groups of six to thirteen who want to arrive together in one vehicle; business travellers with a meeting the same day; and travellers landing at night, when public transport is thin and a fixed price is worth more than ever. Every one of them books the same way - a WhatsApp message - and gets the same written confirmation.
If your trip continues beyond Fes - a day trip, a second city, a port or a return to Rabat Airport - the same desk arranges it in the same WhatsApp conversation, with the same fixed-price approach.
How to book your Fes 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. A member of our team replies within minutes to confirm the price and the meeting point. Payment is arranged on WhatsApp as well, in whichever way suits you, and your confirmation is written down so nothing is left to memory.
Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.
Good to know before you land at Rabat Airport
Share your hotel address with the driver, expect street closures near royal sites and the Mausoleum, and ask your riad about the nearest medina gate.
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 Rabat Airport is the quickest way to say you are through.
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.
Fes to Rabat Airport: the return transfer
Most guests book the return at the same time: a Fes to Rabat Airport 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.
Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Fes transfers
Haqqi Tours is a travel company, not a taxi app: the people who confirm your Rabat Airport to Fes transfer are the same people you can message at midnight when the flight is late. The price is fixed and written down, the driver is a licensed professional who does this road regularly, the vehicle is what we said it would be, and if anything on the day is not as promised, one message to the desk puts it right.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Where do I meet my driver at Rabat Airport?
Your WhatsApp confirmation tells you. Airports differ - Rabat Airport may use an indoor meeting point, a set exit or a name board just past customs - so rather than a general rule we send the exact spot for your flight, with the driver's name and number. Walk out, look where the message says, and your driver is there.

Per person, yes for most groups: the transfer is priced for the vehicle, so a couple pays about what a taxi would and a family pays less, with no meter, no night tariff and no surprise at the door.

With luggage, a family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the easiest and most comfortable way: door to door, no queue, no changes.

There is no train at Rabat-Salé Airport; a city bus and taxis run from the terminal, and the ONCF stations in the city are a taxi ride away.

Is the transfer private, or shared with other passengers?
Private. The vehicle is yours alone from Rabat Airport to Fes, with no other passengers and no extra stops unless you ask for one. That is what makes the fixed price possible.
Can you provide child seats?
