Getting there & around on event days
Fly into Fès–Saïs Airport (FEZ), about 15 km south of the city. A taxi (petit or grand taxi) reaches the medina and festival venues in roughly 20–30 minutes; agree the fare or insist on the meter before setting off. Many performances take place at Bab Al Makina and courtyards around the historic medina, whose lanes are pedestrian-only. The nearest rail hub is Fès train station (Gare de Fès), well connected by ONCF trains from Casablanca, Rabat and Marrakech. From the station it is a short taxi ride or 25-minute walk to the festival heart around the old town.
