Visiting Souks & Bazaars:
When you're planning to visit bazaars and souks, but you don't like to be hassled and pestered incessantly by vendors (and Moroccan men) all the time, here's a tip: pick out one of those so-called students/ kids that offer to guide you around. Make it clear to him you want to walk and look around but don't plan to buy anything.
You pay him a little amount of money i.e. 10 dirhams (US$1) and he'll help keep the vendors (and yes, men) off. And another added plus is that you won't get lost in these dark, narrow streets (they all seem to look the same)!
Be Savvy!
When visiting a foreign city like RABAT, do carry along a postcard with the name and address of
your hotel, which you can show to cab drivers or when asking for directions (should you lose your way).
Speak Their Lingo!
There are not many places where the people aren't absolutely delighted for you to try out their language. If you use just the word for 'thank you', they'll still be impressed. If you know
more about their language, even if you are not fluent, you'll find yourself learning more about the real people, not just the ones shown to us in movies! These Moroccans are just as curious about us as we are about them. So, if you can speak FRENCH and ARABIC, now's the time to do it! :-)

The area in and around the fortifications at Chella, is very popular with storks, and you can usually see at least one nest on the hillside. Here, there are two nests on the same building.
