Casablanca to Fes by Private Transfer (Best Option)
A private transfer from Casablanca to Fes is the fastest and most comfortable way to travel between the two cities. Your driver picks you up directly at your hotel, home, or at CMN Airport and drops you off at your exact destination in Fes — whether that’s a riad in the historic medina, a hotel in Ville Nouvelle, or any other address. No connections, no waiting, no luggage hassle.
This is especially practical if you’re arriving from abroad: after a long flight, the last thing you want is to drag bags across Casablanca to catch a train or bus. With Omar’s Shuttle Service, your driver monitors your flight and is at arrivals when you land — even if delayed.

Casablanca to Fes by Train
The ONCF national train network connects Casablanca and Fes, with departures from Casa-Voyageurs or Casa-Port stations. Some services are direct, others require a change at Kenitra. Total journey time: 4 to 5 hours. This is a reasonable budget option if you are already in the city and traveling light.
Important: If arriving at CMN Airport, you must first take the ONCF airport train to Casa-Voyageurs (approximately 35 minutes), then board the train to Fes. This adds significant time and luggage handling — making private transfer far more practical for airport arrivals.
Casablanca to Fes by CTM Bus
CTM operates comfortable, air-conditioned coach services between Casablanca and Fes. Buses depart from the Casablanca CTM station (not the airport). Journey time is 5 to 6 hours. Tickets cost around 100 MAD. A good option for backpackers with minimal luggage and a flexible schedule — but not suitable for airport transfers or tight itineraries.
From CMN Airport Directly to Fes
There are no direct public transport connections from Casablanca Mohammed V Airport (CMN) to Fes. Every public option requires traveling to Casablanca city first — adding 1 to 2 hours and multiple transfers to your journey. A direct private transfer from CMN Airport to Fes is the only way to travel in a single, uninterrupted journey.
This is why the vast majority of international travelers — especially those with families, business travelers, or anyone with tight connections — choose a pre-booked private transfer for the CMN to Fes route.
