Chefchaouen to Fes Transfer — Private, Fixed Price & Direct

Chefchaouen has no railway station, and Fès el-Bali is closed to cars. Here's why travellers pre-book the Chefchaouen to Fes transfer.

• Right to Your Riad Gate

  CTM drops you at the Fes bus station, well outside the car-free medina, so the coach always ends with another taxi. We go to the gate closest to your riad.

• Honest Timing on the Rif Road

  195 km takes nearly four hours here — people routinely underestimate it by an hour. If you have a train or a flight to connect with in Fes, we plan backwards from it.

• Fixed Price from 169€

  Your Chefchaouen to Fes price is confirmed before you book. From 169€ per vehicle — not per person, tolls and fuel included. Six people split it to about 28€ each.

• Collected in the Blue Medina

  Cars can't reach most riads in the old town, and the bus station is a steep walk below it. Your driver waits at the nearest access point and carries the cases down the lanes.

The distance from Chefchaouen to Fes is about 195 km. The drive takes roughly 3 hours 45 in a private vehicle — the descent out of the Rif is winding and slow, so this takes longer than the distance suggests.

Wondering how to get from Chefchaouen to Fes? Chefchaouen has no railway station — the nearest are Fes and Tangier, so there is no train option at all. The CTM coach runs in four to five hours but terminates at the bus station, well outside Fès el-Bali, so it ends with another taxi. Shared grand taxis do the route in stages via Ouezzane and only leave when full.

If you are connecting in Fes — a train, or a flight from Fès-Saïss — plan generously. Allow about 7 hours before an international flight and 6 before a domestic one, since a slow truck on the Rif descent can cost you twenty minutes. Send us the flight or train time and we set the pickup.

Here is the honest comparison if you are deciding how to get from Chefchaouen to Fes:

Travelling light with a free day? The CTM coach is much cheaper and perfectly workable. For a group, real luggage, a connection to catch in Fes, or riads inside two car-free medinas, the private transfer is the version that goes door to door with someone carrying a bag at both ends.

• «Collected at Bab el-Ain and dropped at Bab Boujloud. Two car-free medinas, one car, bags carried at both ends.»
