Fes to Ouarzazate, the comfortable way.
.jpg?width=1600)
What does the trip from Fes to Ouarzazate actually involve? 480 km, around 7 hours of driving by way of Midelt, Erfoud and Tinghir, and a change of scene from the Saïss plain to the southern side of the High Atlas.
Who makes the Fes to Ouarzazate trip
Why this trip? Fes is usually a two- or three-night stop, left for the Sahara, Chefchaouen or the long run back to Marrakech. As for Ouarzazate, people come for the kasbahs, film-set tours and as the overnight stop that splits long drives to the desert. Few people make this 480 km crossing in one go, and we would rather say so plainly: it is booked by travellers who have a fixed flight or hotel at the far end and would rather cover the distance in one private day than stitch together buses and grand taxis.
The road from Fes to Ouarzazate
South of Fes the road climbs to Ifrane — an Alpine-looking town — and through the cedar forest near Azrou, home to Barbary macaques, then crosses high grazing plateaus to Midelt below Jebel Ayachi. South of Midelt the N13 crosses the Tizi n'Talghemt pass and drops through the Ziz gorges to Errachidia, then follows the Ziz valley's palm groves to Erfoud. West of Erfoud the road crosses the pre-Saharan plain, past the khettara irrigation wells and Tinejdad's oasis, to Tinghir. West of Tinghir the N10 passes Boumalne at the mouth of the Dades gorge, the rose town of Kelaat M'Gouna and the Skoura palmery into Ouarzazate. Good places to break the drive: Errachidia, the khettara wells near Tinejdad and the Todra gorge (short detour).
Arriving in Ouarzazate
Ouarzazate is the gateway town to the Moroccan south — home to the Taourirt kasbah, the Atlas film studios and the Noor solar plant, at 1,100 m on a stony plateau. Wide boulevards and drive-up hotels; kasbah guesthouses outside town can be down short dirt tracks.
Should you split the journey?
At 7 hours this is a full day in the car. We run it in one day for anyone who wants that — with breaks every two hours or so — but many travellers prefer to split it. The natural halfway point is Erfoud: Erfoud has quiet kasbah hotels an hour short of the dunes. Book two one-way legs and the driver meets you again the next morning.
Before you go
A final practical note on Ouarzazate: big day-night temperature swings; winter mornings can be close to freezing. And when you are ready to move on, the Skoura palmery and the Dades gorge are the natural next legs east. The return leg, Ouarzazate to Fes, has its own page and the same per-vehicle pricing.
Private car, coach, grand taxi or train?
The fastest way from Fes to Ouarzazate is a private transfer: about 7 h door to door for a fixed €338 for the whole vehicle. The coach is cheaper per person but adds a transfer at each end and roughly an hour of waiting; a shared grand taxi only leaves once six seats are sold.
| Option | Typical price | Journey time | Door to door | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer (Bacharide) | from €338 per vehicle | 7 h | Yes | Fixed fare for the whole car, hotel-door pickup, luggage and child seats included, flight tracked. |
| CTM / Supratours coach | ~€35 per person | 9 h 60 | No | Cheapest option, but fixed departure times, station-to-station, and luggage is charged by the bag. |
| Shared grand taxi | ~€45 per seat | 8 h | No | Leaves only when six seats are sold. No seatbelts in the rear, no boot space for large cases. |
| Self-drive hire car | ~€90 per day + fuel | 7 h 15 | Yes | Flexible, but you handle the mountain passes, city parking and the deposit hold. |
Coach, grand taxi and rail figures are typical published fares and timings for Moroccan operators (CTM, Supratours, ONCF) and vary by season. Only the Bacharide fare is fixed and quoted at booking.
