Fez Airport - Hotel: Private transfer with SIM card

Summary

Landing in Fez, meeting our driver, and seeing the city’s first colors from the car window

You’ll land in Fez and be greeted by your local driver right at arrivals, then settle into a private transfer across town with a quick look at city landmarks along the way. With your Moroccan SIM card ready and flexible stops possible for photos or coffee, you’ll arrive at your hotel feeling welcomed — and already a bit connected to Fez.

What’s the experience like?

We stepped out of the arrivals hall at Fez airport, blinking a bit from the sudden sunlight. Our driver was right there, holding my name on a crumpled piece of paper — I always wonder if they’ll spell it right (they did this time). He gave us this warm nod, not too formal, and helped with our bags before leading us to his car. The air smelled faintly like dust and oranges, which I didn’t expect. I fumbled with my backpack zipper while he handed over a Moroccan SIM card — honestly, that saved us later when we got lost in the medina.

The drive into Fez wasn’t rushed. Our driver pointed out the old city walls as we passed them — “That’s Bab Boujloud,” he said, glancing back in the mirror. His English was good but sometimes he’d slip into French or Arabic mid-sentence (I tried to keep up). We could’ve stopped for photos or coffee if we wanted; he actually offered when we slowed near a street market where people were selling mint and bread from carts. I almost said yes just for the smell alone — fresh bread at 10am is hard to resist.

It felt like we were getting an unofficial tour before even reaching our hotel. The city looked different than I’d pictured: more blue doors, more laundry flapping from balconies. When we finally pulled up to our riad, he waited until we found the right door before saying goodbye. There was something comforting about that small gesture — maybe because arriving somewhere new always makes me a little nervous. Anyway, I still think about that first glimpse of Fez through the car window; it set the tone for everything after.
