THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR when driving

by windcity

THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR when driving in Morocco include, dogs, goats, cows and camels in the road. Also look out for traffic police, keep within the speed limit at all times or the cops will appear from nowhere and issue you with an on the spot fine. Sometimes they will stop you for a chat because you have foreign number plates. Driving at night can be hazardous as drivers do not always use their lights or they keep them on full beam to blind you. Try to park your car where there is a guardian, it will cost a few Dirham but you will have piece of mind. Again its the foreign plates that might cause unwanted attention. I hope I don't sound alarmist, it happens everywhere. Last year we took our Moroccan car to Spain and got our luggage nicked while we ate lunch. As with anywhere keep everything locked in the trunk when you leave your vehicle.Take a map & a compass as road side directions are...

Ferry transport to Morocco

by angiebabe

The main ferry port to Morocco is at Algeciras in the south of Spain - with many ferries heading over to Tangier throughout the day from early morning to about 10pm at night - I caught the last ferry over one night and it didnt leave until after 11pm!There are large 'slow' ferries that take around 2 and a half hours to reach their destination in Tangier - or there are 'fast' ferries which almost are not much different! but often will be as fast as one and a half hours.When buying your ticket, note that your ticket is not interchangeable between the various companies! There is a big departure board of the ferries leaving - you can ask at the various counters if theirs is running to advertised time, and at what time their next is leaving - take note of what is advertised - compare whether the boats advertised are slow or fast ferries and if they are running on time - they wont refund your...

Transport tips

I can only give you my opinion of your Cassa-Essa leg.A Grand taxi is a large car, normally a Mercedes that fills up with passengers on the way, You could take one to your first place of interest, and then pick up another to go further on your way. Generally they go between Cassablanca and Marrakech and Marrakech and Essaouira. For the latter leg the price is 100Dh per seat, but if you buy 2 seats you get the front seat to yourself. They usually leave when full. If there are 6 passengers you will feel like a sardine. I don't know about Cassa, but they leave from Bab Dukala in Marrakech.If you want to hire the whole car you will need to discus this with the tout that directs you to cars, You need to be a good haggler. If hire a private car with a driver you will be able to stop off where ever you fancy. The car will be cleaner and better maintained (?)You can also travel by train from...

Crossing the TiznTichka in heavy snow!

by angiebabe

Well I have finally had the experience of seeing and being on TiznTichka in heavy snow!!and I can vouch for the snowploughs being in there pretty quick and actively clearing the roads! There was initially a skiddy patch but otherwise as the snow was new and fresh it was soft and okay for driving slowly in from 1st to 3rd gears rather than the scarey icey of snow thats been sitting in freezing temperatures - and we saw 3 snow ploughs actively working through the whole route that was inundated with lots of, and still falling, snow.We unfortunately had to sit for almost an hour as a van ahead had got stuck or broken down, and then trucks and buses had moved on up to an incline section in the road so by the time the troubled vehicle was off out of the way the large and heavy vehicles had difficulty getting going - a snow plough truck was in there though giving them pull starts and we noticed...

How to get to Morocco

by Veroali

Morocco has a lot of airports in every bigger city and very very nice airport´s buildings. Then it is easy to travel even across Morocco. There are many low-costy flights. We booked the ticket from Brno (the Czech republic) by Ryanair to Barcelona, Girona and then from Girona to Marrakech. Even one way and the way back from Fes, again to Girona and then to Brno. As cheap as it can ever be. 200 euros all the flights per one person. There are also cheap flights from France, Germany and UK. When entering in Morocco, everybody has to fill up a form, where he goes, from where, hotel, ... It is ok, but then it is necessary to fill it up in almost every hotel and when leaving Morocco, which gets a bit boring.

Travel by Trains around Morocco

by hm9

Hi The best way to enjoy morocco is by train. they have really good standards trains. It s safe and relaxing and you can stop whererver you want. The prices are really affordable. There are many nice places not on the tourists map in the north. example hoceima, saidia in the north east and areas in the north west such azilla a few miles from tangier. It is a safe country but I would recommnd going with someone so you will feel more relaxed and enjoy it betterYou can find some good deals on herehttp://www.discountedtravels.co.uk

Transport information for Morocco

by simoroc

Hi,I agree with AngieBabe that Tetouan is worth a stop off. It is a fantastic city with one of the oldest and most fascinating medinas in Morocco. Also the trip by road from Tetouan to Chefchaouen is stunning passing through the mountains and rivers, well worth doing and only takes about an hour from Tetouan. I have found a website that has lots of information on the area in the North of Morocco www.simplymorocco.com it also has information on ferries and car hire etcMany regardsRita
