Hotel Sahrai sits on a hill between the new town and the medina of Fes, with the old city spread out below. Almost everyone arrives through Fes-Saïss Airport, about twenty minutes away by road, and the question comes up before the bags are packed: the hotel car, a taxi outside the terminal, or a transfer booked in advance? This guide compares the three, walks through the arrival step by step, and answers the questions travellers ask most.
Where is the hotel compared with the airport?
Fes-Saïss Airport lies south of the city, on the Immouzzer road. The hotel is on the heights, between the new town and Fes el-Bali. The journey heads up to the centre and then climbs to the hotel: allow about twenty minutes outside peak hours. The exact distance and journey time are shown in the table of this guide, taken from the hotel’s page.
The three ways to reach the hotel
The hotel car
Hotel Sahrai offers a chauffeured car service, to be requested from the concierge before arrival, on the hotel’s terms. It is the choice of guests who want to leave everything to the property, from the first day to the last.
A taxi outside the airport
Taxis wait in front of the terminal. The fare is agreed before you get in, in dirhams, and small notes help. Drivers know the hotel, but its full name avoids a mix-up with the medina riads that carry a similar name. With a baby, the seat is not guaranteed.
A private transfer booked in advance
You book online before you leave. Your driver waits at the arrivals exit with a sign bearing your name, loads the luggage and drives you straight to the hotel entrance. The price is fixed per vehicle, not per person, paid online, and a baby or child seat is free on request. Flight delayed? Your driver waits for you, whatever the delay, at no extra charge.

On arrival: four things that make it easy
- Switch your phone on as soon as you land: your driver can message you if the hall is busy.
- Collect your luggage, then look for the sign with your name at the arrivals exit.
- Confirm the destination: “Hotel Sahrai, on the heights between the new town and the medina”.
- Check that the child seat requested at booking is fitted before you set off: it was prepared for you.
Arriving at night
Flights to Fes often land in the evening, and the airport road is clear at that hour. The private transfer runs at any hour. Between midnight and six in the morning a night supplement applies; it is shown before payment, never after. Reception expects you at the time you gave them.
During your stay
From the hotel, the medina of Fes el-Bali is minutes away by car, Volubilis and Meknes make a full day, and Chefchaouen or Ifrane are easy outings with a driver who waits for you. The return to the airport is booked at the same fixed price, leaving the hotel at the time you choose. The other clubs, resorts and large hotels of Fes, with their price, are listed on the Fes clubs and resorts page, and the exact price for the hotel is on the hotel’s page.
