The trip at a glance
Rabat and Fes are linked by one of the most efficient stretches of the Moroccan network, via Meknes. It is a short hop by national standards, often slotted between the coast and the interior.
Which option to choose
The train is the obvious answer: central stations at both ends and decent frequencies. A car only helps for a detour to Volubilis or Moulay Idriss.
The comparison table above shows the duration and indicative budget recorded for each mode on this route.
On the road
The A2 motorway connects the cities across the Meknes plateau. Driving is easy; the difficulty starts on arrival, around the Fes medina.
Before you go
- Check the day's timetable with the operator: frequencies vary by season.
- Carry small change for connecting taxis and tolls.
- If you rent a car, get the insurance terms and deposit amount confirmed in writing.
