Day trips to Ifrane, Azrou

Ifrane is approximately 60-65km from Fes depending on where you begin.

Many visitors combine Ifrane with Azrou and the nearby cedar forest.

A private driver can make this journey easier with planned sightseeing stops along the way.

Meknes and Volubilis.

Meknes is about 60-70 km from Fes by road.

Volubilis is a bit further away so it’s best to plan on a full day if you want to visit both places.

How are the pickups and transfers around Fes?

Private drivers normally collect passengers from agreed points such as airports, hotels and accessible medina gates.

Your fes private driver will confirm your pickup location before you travel.

Medina & Hotel Pickups

Most of Fes el-Bali is pedestrian-only, so you won't be able to drive your way to every accommodation's door.

Bab Boujloud and Place R’cif are popular meeting spots.

If your riad is hidden in the medina, give yourself extra walking time.

Pick up before please send the location pin of your accommodation.

Airport & Intercity Transfers
