Ouarzazate to Fes, the comfortable way.
.jpg?width=1600)
Ouarzazate to Fes is 480 km by road — roughly 7 hours in a private car by way of Tinghir, Erfoud and Midelt. People come to get lost in the medina, see the Chouara tannery and the Bou Inania madrasa, and eat some of the country's best food, and the drive in is part of the story.
Who makes the Ouarzazate to Fes trip
Why this trip? Ouarzazate is a staging post, so departures lead to the Dades and Todra gorges, the Draa valley or back over the Atlas. As for Fes, people come to get lost in the medina, see the Chouara tannery and the Bou Inania madrasa, and eat some of the country's best food. 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 Ouarzazate to Fes
East of Ouarzazate the N10 — the 'Road of a Thousand Kasbahs' — passes the Skoura palmery, the rose town of Kelaat M'Gouna and the mouth of the Dades gorge at Boumalne before reaching Tinghir and the Todra gorge. East of Tinghir the road crosses the pre-Saharan plain through the oasis of Tinejdad and past lines of khettara irrigation wells to Erfoud. North of Erfoud the N13 follows the Ziz palm valley to Errachidia and climbs through the Ziz gorges and over the Tizi n'Talghemt to Midelt. North of Midelt the road crosses high plateaus to the cedar forests of Azrou, where Barbary macaques gather by the road, and Ifrane, then descends to Fes. Good places to break the drive: the khettara wells near Tinejdad, the Todra gorge (short detour) and the Ziz gorges viewpoint.
Arriving in Fes
Fes is Morocco's oldest imperial city — Fes el-Bali is the largest car-free medina in the world, a maze of tanneries, madrasas and craft workshops. Vehicles stop at the medina gates — Bab Boujloud, Bab Guissa or R'cif — and riads send someone to walk you in. Without a guide the lanes are genuinely confusing, so wait for them.
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
Once you are in Fes, Meknes and the Roman ruins of Volubilis make a half-day trip, and the cedar forests of Ifrane are an hour south. Hot in summer (often 38 °C+) and cold, sometimes frosty, in winter; spring and autumn are best. The return leg, Fes to Ouarzazate, has its own page and the same per-vehicle pricing.
Private car, coach, grand taxi or train?
The fastest way from Ouarzazate to Fes 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.
