Overview: car trip from Tangier to Fez

A trip from Tangier to Fez will take you down along the northwestern coast of Morocco by the Atlantic Ocean to Kenitra. From Kenitra, you’ll begin your journey inland and get to Fez, about 125 miles (200 km) from the coast. The A5 and A2 highways reliably connect major cities in Morocco and cover long distances in a short amount of time.

Morocco is still up-and-coming in traveler circles and your trip is an excellent opportunity to see the more obscure parts of North Africa. Unlike a bus or train, a private driver can take you right where you’d like to go in between the major cities, so let’s get started!

About Fez

Fez is the oldest of Morocco’s imperial cities, or historical capitals, and is nicknamed the “Athens of Africa.” Visitors traveling from Tangier to Fez are amazed at the sheer amount of preserved medieval buildings and stunning Islamic architecture in its Medina district.

Fez is also home to one of the oldest universities in the world, the University of al-Qarawiyyin, which has been educating students for 1,100 years. Fez is more inland than Tangier and has more of that old-world feel than the coastal cities, so it’s great to see both places during your visit.

From Tangier to Fez: travel tips

These tips can help your drive from Tangier to Fez be the best that it can be!

Fes? Fez?

You might see Fes or Fez on maps and travel guides. Don’t fear, these are both referring to the same city!

Choose your outfit wisely

If you’ll be visiting religious sites, longer and looser clothing is required. Your shoulders, chest, and knees should be covered regardless of gender. But this dress code is also the best way to dress for sun protection as well. Loose clothing keeps air circulating near your skin, and long sleeves protect your skin from sunburn. Pick clothing made from breathable material, like linen, and avoid uncomfortable synthetics.

How to get from Tangier to Fez

Your vacation is just getting started! Here are three ways to travel from Tangier to Fez.

Private car service from Tangier to Fez

If you want the freedom and flexibility of a rental car without all the liability of driving in a foreign country, you should hire a private driver. Plus, you don’t have to deal with the hassle of returning the car or refueling.

Daytrip’s drivers operate a fleet of insured vehicles and speak both English and the local language, so you can put your mind at ease on your trip. Your driver will pick you up from your front door in Tangier and take you to all the stops you’ve booked along the route to Fez. Once in Fez, you’ll have help with your luggage and won’t have to return a rental car! Secure your ride for around $330.

Trains from Tangier to Fez

Moroccan Railways has frequent trains between Tangier and Fez. The journey takes 3 and a half to 4 and a half hours and usually requires a transfer in Kenitra. Tickets cost $11 to $27, and you can find their full timetable online.

Buses from Tangier to Fez

Buses take significantly longer, about 7 hours, to reach Fez. Tickets are $16 to $23 and this route takes you around the coast, stopping at Kenitra on its way to Fez.

Things to do when you get to Fez

After a long, exciting day of travel from Tangier to Fez, get a good night’s sleep so you can see all Fez has to offer, starting with these activities:

Go back in time in the Medina

The Fes el-Bali Medina is a UNESCO World Heritage site spanning 540 acres with over 9,000 winding cobblestone streets. It is the most complete and preserved medieval city of the Arab world. Enter the medina through the Bab Bou Jeloud Gate, or Blue Gate, to start your trip in the oldest section. With such a large distance to cover, schedule an entire day for this part of your trip.

The Medina is completely car-free and its maze-like streets will take you back in time to its founding in the 9th century. It has over 300 mosques and dozens of administrative buildings, as it served as the capital for Morocco multiple times.

Here you’ll find thousands of shops in the _souks, _or bazaars, where you can buy handmade rugs, leather goods, spices, perfumes, pottery, and jewelry. Watch craftsmen make pots and rugs right in their shops, and purchase a fez, the traditional hat for this city.

Have a spa day in a hammam

Have a traditional Moroccan hammam experience, where you can relax and rejuvenate with a steam bath, exfoliating scrub, and aromatic massage. Enjoy these centuries-old wellness practices in one of the oldest cities in the Arab world.

When is the best time to visit Fez

Plan your visit to Morocco in the spring or autumn for the best experience. During these shoulder seasons, the average temperature is about 77° F (25° C) and sunny. You’ll find a slight difference in temperature and less of the ocean breeze as you leave the coast of Tangier to Fez, which sits about 200 miles (300 km) inland.

The Moroccan heat is very intense in the summer, especially for inland cities like Fez. Temperatures in July and August regularly reach 96° F (36° C) with a very high UV index. If you’re unaccustomed to extreme heat, avoid the summers in Morocco.

It was a fantastic trip.

“We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.”

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”

Daytrip never disappoints

“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

“We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.”
