Fès-Saïss Airport

Fès-Saïss Airport

Fès-Saïss airport is located 15 km south of the city centre, and the establishment is both modern and easy to navigate. Taxis are still the best way to get to and from the airport to the city centre, and luckily, they are quite cheap. You can also use public transport and shuttle buses to get to Fès, just step on the bus line 16 or choose one of the airport shuttles that run ever 30 minutes from Fès airport. You can buy the tickets on the bus.

Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Fès for ideal weather, referring to both average temperature and humidity, is from April to November, as the days are long and sunny. Although it feels nice nearly all year long, the outside markets and the restaurants' terraces can best be enjoyed during summer – however, July and August are the hottest months so take advantage or avoid depending on personal preference.

Passport / Visa

Passport / Visa

Citizens of the European Union, as well as the Untied States, Australia, and dozens of world countries can enter and remain in Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days. Look up individual prerequisites prior to travel in order to possibly apply for visa in time.

Public transport

Public transport

The central train station is in the ville nouvelle, and there are daily trains to all the main destinations in Morocco. The trains are very comfortable and almost live up to European standards, but do buy your tickets in advance as first class seats are often sold out. You may also reserve tickets on the website or purchase them in person at the local station. The main bus station is situated outside of Bab el-Mahrouk, and it has services to other destinations in Morocco with daily departures. Within the city, you do normally pass by foot or by car/cab.

Taxi

Taxi

There are two types of taxis in Fès: the red petit taxi and the white grand taxi. The petit taxis all have meters, and a ride anywhere in the city can only carry 3 people by law. The grand taxis are often hired for day trips, so they are more difficult to come by – you may arrange one through your hotel if you desire a day trip out of Fès. Petit Taxi +212 61 781 7528
