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.
