Top Morocco hotels

Washing and drying machines, while popular in urban Morocco, are not all that totally widespread for travelers - something to keep in mind for cleaning and drying along the way. Most people do their laundry on the roofs - you can dump your goods off on the hotel or house maid (or clean 'em yo own damn self) give it a day and remember that winter drying is long going.
From a letter to LPMorocco - Unpoisoning the Thread Hi Roman and TTers- There is a tour group whose behavior seems fairly ugly and definitely suspicious. These cats - Mohatravel at http://mohatravel.tripod.com - they are more than a little unstable in their forum/e-mail behavior and responses. The pattern is to ask some travel questions; one about weather, Ramadan, appropriate dress then one about a guide that they have heard of - which we all then politely answer thinking it's not spam - then we are guided back to an embedded question which inevitably comes to recommending the guide at their business - it is always under a different name than Moha (such as akabartours or icha_jose in last ones), but ultimately (through correspondence) comes back to mohatravel.com.I traced the IP's of the so called questioner, the recommended tour company, and Moha's following threats - all of them are...
I have lost friends discussing politics. And I mean it - just questions like "What is the position of the Moroccan Royal Equestrian Club about glue sniffing 5 and 6 year olds prostituting themselves to tourists or washing up dead on the spanish coasts?" can insinuate that the King isn't doing enough. And that, my traveling friend or not-yet-clear new local, is enough to make folks who remember Hasan II's years of lead to never consider darkening your door again or share tea with you.Why? Well, you could be a spy. You could also be seen as untrustworthy with someone's personal opinions. This doesn't mean shut up. Not at all. It just means you have to go about searching for answers and posing the tricky questions with a respectful way. And respect someone who clearly doesn't want to talk about it with YOU (it doesn't mean it's not discussed, boo-boo.)Listen to the music of Nas El Ghiwane...
Just a problem really - for those uninitiated in the hole in the floor toilets. For starters, if you are concerned about this - ask if they have american or european toilets. If no, and you don't mind here goes.You should have toilet paper, there almost certainly won't be any inside - you may want to plug your nose with it depending. I'll let you figure the rest out from there. However, if you forgot the toilet paper - that's what the little spicket on the floor is for. Happy water wiping, boo. Get in touch with a sadly neglected part of your body. All right, please, stop now.Ladies: It's not that tricky for you - just treat it like you are in the woods. Squat - make sure your clothes are clearly away - let 'er rip. Go on, darlin' - get out of there.Finish -That lady sitting next to the toilet - give her one dirham or drop it on her doily. All done. Go eat.
You are fat and out-of-shape: That is less of a danger sitting on your ass and blogging but it is a big one for the walk-area-only sections of the old medinas. The streets can get incredibly narrow, steep, crowded. Shape up a bit before spelunking in the medinas of Morocco.
I drink it all the time and love it - I choose it just about anytime over buying Sidi Ali.That being said - you can get funky sick from the difference in the microbes, so stick to Sidi Ali or Sidi Harazem to avoid becoming the WetPooSprayMonster.
I like the idea of word bombs instead of real bombs - less blood, discos stay intact, etc.Hamar is a word bomb that can get you into a kharra load of trouble. It only means 'donkey' which is why some tourists think it won't be a terrible thing to try it out when they are upset. However, unless your goal is to be called things far more revolting than 'hamar' - don't use this. It is almost guaranteed to bring you grief upon successful deployment.
My one and only scam I've had more than a few times is with rental cars and so far (allahsteerni) only in Morocco. If I rented from a no-name like 'Connexion Car' at the airport I would need to check every last problem with the car or there would be some rubbish at the end of the trip that I caused the little nicks and scrapes and cigarette burns - with them claiming they could keep a sizable amount of the cash advance that I had to give to these non-credit-card-usin'-mammajammas. Now, this problem happened - even with my ninja-pimp-Moroccan Arabic powers. My solution was to be loud, mean, physically threatening and scary and I always got all my money back. Different strokes. When my Moroccan friends from the burbs ask a medina store merchant what the price of something is - it gets jacked up. When my Moroccan friends go for round trips, prices are jacked up for them at roadside cafes if...
Some tourists are still in jail now because they tried to buy haschich, or were forced to around the city of Ketama. This city is famous for its haschich fields surrouding it, so many tourists go there trying to get the best they can get or that dope. If you like it, it is tempting, but no way : you don't want to have lifelong problems for this. My advice is not to go there if you are a haschich smoker, or then to be VERY careful. Especially in the roads going to smaller villages around, where some people may try to take advantage of you. So always get a secure road map and travel connection when you go there - take a bus, not a car. Or go with a Moroccan friend you really trust.Besides, haschich smoking, if not recommended, is easy all around Morocco, so why take the danger further.Know the rules before you break them !
1. It's a first class coach (whatever that means) but there are NO toilets aboard! So spend your penny before getting on.2. Drivers dash along like a bat out of hell, they take over every car in sight, even on slopes and curves. I would not call taking a coach in Morocco a very safe choice. Be warned!Both apply to CTM as well as Supratours buses.
