Arriving at a new airport can be a little confusing, especially when you need to get to the city. From Fes-Saïs Airport (FEZ), there are several convenient ways to get to the center of Fes and hotels, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. This information will help you plan your trip, taking into account time, cost and comfort.
Official taxi stands are usually located directly near the exit from the terminal.

Make sure the driver turns on the meter or agree on a price in advance. The cost of the trip to the city center can range from 15 to 25 euros, depending on traffic and your specific destination.
A private transfer is a convenient option, especially if you are traveling with a lot of luggage or a large group. Usually, a representative of the transfer company meets you in the arrivals hall with a sign with your name. It is important to confirm the meeting place and phone number for contact in advance. The price of a private transfer is usually fixed and depends on the type of car and the distance to your hotel. Expect to spend from 30 to 60 euros for a private transfer to the center of Fes.
Shared shuttles are a more economical option, but they may be less convenient as you may have to wait for enough passengers to board and make several stops along the way. They are suitable if you are not in a hurry and want to save money. The cost of a shared shuttle is usually from 8 to 15 euros per person. Minibuses are also available, but they can be crowded, especially during peak season.
