    Getting TO/AROUND:
    If your traveling by a strickt budget , and you are tired
    of hassling with taxidrivers over the use of the
    meter-
    TAKE THE BUS.

    We took the bus a couple of times and didn't
    see other tourist doing that often.
    Often because of the warnings of pick pockets
    etc. Just use your good sence.

    A ticket will cost you 3 dirham.


    Bus 11 brings you to the menara gardens.
    It is also the bus for the airport , but it stops
    about 800m from the airport.....

    If you come from the Menara gardens , just jump
    on any bus passing by and they will bring you
    near the Jemaa-el-fna.

    Getting TO/AROUND:
    Taxi's are quit cheap in Morocco.
    The city center is covered by little cars ,
    often peugeot 205. Covered , that is the streets
    where they can drive and the places they can
    reach. You can ask them to put on the meter
    and get out of the car if they don't want to
    or you could ask them for the price from here till
    there. We choose for the last option. They charge
    you about 3 times the real price , but it still
    is cheap and then the tip is included.
    2 euro for a drive into the city from the
    congress center....And they also take the
    shortest way if you do it at a fixed price.


    I found it very pleasant to take a taxi. The drivers
    were fun to talk too. I felt comfortable. Sometimes
    if you ask for the price they just say , give
    whatever you want. And they mean that. ;-)


    A few times we did some co-driving. Sharing
    a taxi. And for your information , it were always
    local woman who took us with them.
    Yes , local woman , with or without veil.
