Where to stay for SIAM — Salon International de l'Agriculture au Maroc 2027: the closest hotels to SIAM Exhibition Grounds (Sahrij Souani) are in Meknes Ville Nouvelle and Medina of Meknes, with Fez (45 min by train) a short ride away. The fair runs 19 Apr to 25 Apr 2027 and rooms near the venue sell out first, so book a free-cancellation rate early. Pay Weekly lets you split your hotel over up to 16 weeks.
SIAM — the Salon International de l'Agriculture au Maroc — takes place at the SIAM Exhibition Grounds (Sahrij Souani) in Meknes, with the 19th edition expected in April 2027. It is North Africa's largest agricultural fair and one of the continent's flagship agritech gatherings, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors across roughly a week. Exhibitors span livestock, crops, irrigation, machinery, agri-inputs, food processing and rural development, and the show attracts farmers, cooperatives, ministers, international delegations and agribusiness buyers from Africa, Europe and the Gulf. Meknes is a mid-sized imperial city with a limited stock of business-grade hotels, so when SIAM fills the calendar the rooms closest to Sahrij Souani and in the city centre are booked out early, and many attendees end up commuting from Fez. That combination of huge footfall and thin local supply is exactly why near-venue rooms disappear months ahead. Event Escapes shows live, bookable rates sorted by real distance from the SIAM grounds, so you can see what is genuinely close and still available rather than guessing from a map.

Pay Weekly: common questions
Do I pay any interest?
No. There is no interest and no extra charge. Your plan total is exactly the hotel price shown when you book. The only fee we ever charge is a processing fee on cash refunds (see 'What fees apply?').
How many payments can I make?
Depending on how far away your trip is, you can split your booking into between 2 and 16 weekly payments. The exact schedule is shown before you book.
What happens after I pay my deposit?
Your hotel is booked and confirmed immediately. You receive your booking confirmation and your full payment schedule by email, and the remaining payments are charged automatically each week.
How are the weekly payments taken?
Automatically. After your first payment, each weekly payment is charged to your saved card, and we send you a reminder 2 days before every charge. In a few countries where automatic card charges are not allowed, we email you a secure payment link each week instead. You can switch to a different card at any time.
Can I pay early?
Yes. Sign in to your Event Escapes account at any time and pay off your remaining balance in one payment, whenever it suits you. There is never a fee for paying early.
What happens if I miss a payment?
We retry your card automatically and email you a secure payment link so you can pay another way, plus a final notice with one link to clear the remaining balance. If the plan still cannot be completed, we cancel the room before its free-cancellation deadline and everything you have paid goes into your Event Escapes Wallet in full. You never lose the money you have paid. You can turn that credit into a cash refund at any time (the processing fee applies).
Getting there
From Fès–Saïss Airport (FEZ)
- FEZ is the nearest airport, roughly a 60–90 minute drive west of Meknes via the A2 motorway.
- Prearranged transfers and airport taxis are the simplest option; there is no direct rail link from the airport terminal.
- Alternatively take a taxi or shuttle to Fez rail station and connect to Meknes by ONCF train (around 40 minutes).
Rail alternative via Casablanca/Rabat
- Many international arrivals land in Casablanca (CMN) and take the ONCF train line through Rabat to Meknes.
- Meknes has two stations (Meknes and Meknes El Amir Abdelkader); check which is closest to your hotel.
- From the city centre the SIAM grounds at Sahrij Souani are a short taxi ride.
Getting around during SIAM — Salon International de l'Agriculture au Maroc
Getting around Meknes and to the venue
- Petit taxis (metered, shared or private) are the standard way to move around town and reach Sahrij Souani.
- The SIAM grounds sit near the historic medina; expect heavy traffic and road closures on peak fair days.
- Walking is feasible within the city centre, but allow extra time and arrive early to avoid the gate crush.
Visa & entry
Entry guidance for Morocco
- Many nationalities enter Morocco visa-free for short tourist or business stays; others need a visa or e-visa arranged in advance.
- Requirements depend on your passport, so check your category before travelling.
- Ensure your passport has adequate validity and blank pages, and carry proof of onward travel and accommodation.
Entry requirements change and vary by nationality; always verify with the official Moroccan government or nearest embassy/consulate before booking.
First time at SIAM — Salon International de l'Agriculture au Maroc?
- Book accommodation as early as possible — Meknes has limited business hotels and SIAM fills them fast.
- If central rooms are gone, staying in Fez and commuting by train or car is a common fallback.
- Bring cash in dirhams for taxis and market vendors; card acceptance is patchy outside larger hotels.
- Wear comfortable shoes and sun protection — much of the SIAM ground is open-air and April sun can be strong.
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- Arrive at the grounds early in the morning before the mid-day visitor peak, especially on public/weekend days.
- Fix taxi fares before setting off, or ask your hotel to arrange a driver for venue runs.
- Use the city centre and Ville Nouvelle restaurants for business dinners rather than eating near the crowded gates.
- Keep meetings in the professional-day windows early in the fair; the later public days bring the largest crowds.
