Fez Railway Station
Step off the Casablanca or Tangier train at Gare de Fès and you are minutes from the Ville Nouvelle but hours from riad check-in inside the medina.
About Fez Railway Station
- Main ONCF station serving Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier and Marrakech lines
- No staffed left-luggage counter or lockers inside the station
- Located in the Ville Nouvelle, a short petit-taxi ride from the medina gates
- Grand taxis and car-rental desks sit just outside the forecourt
- Busiest during summer and Moroccan holiday travel peaks
Gare de Fès is the city's main ONCF gateway, sitting on the edge of the Ville Nouvelle where intercity trains from Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier and Marrakech arrive throughout the day. Most visitors step off with a full set of luggage, then hit the same snag: their riad lies deep inside the car-free medina and check-in is still hours away. The station itself offers no dependable left-luggage counter or lockers, and staff will not watch bags. That gap is exactly why travelers look for vetted storage nearby, dropping suitcases with a partner along the surrounding boulevards before catching a petit taxi up to Bab Boujloud. Reserving a spot online ahead of time guarantees space on the busy summer arrival days when the station floods.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a left-luggage office at Fez railway station?
No, Gare de Fès does not operate a formal consigne or self-service lockers, and staff will not mind bags for you. The practical alternative is a nearby vetted storage counter in the Ville Nouvelle. Booking a spot online before you arrive means your suitcases are handled the moment you step off the platform.
How far is luggage storage from the platforms?
Partner storage points sit along Boulevard Mohammed V and the streets off Place de la Gare, roughly three to five minutes on foot. That lets you drop bags and continue to the medina unencumbered. Reserve online to lock in a slot before the summer arrival rush.
Can I store bags if my train leaves late at night?
Many nearby partners keep extended evening hours to cover late departures, but availability varies by day. Checking and booking online shows real opening times and confirms your slot in advance, so you are not left carrying luggage around the Ville Nouvelle after dark.
