 Fes Train Station by kit_mc
When booking, make sure to ask for second class is you're travelling on the cheap or you may automatically be sold a first class ticket as we were. The difference is minimal, though first class compartments hold 6 people, second class compartments hold up to 8 people.
A first class ticket from Rabat to Fes costs 151dh. Leave a Comment

 TRAFFIC AT BOULEVARD HASSAN II by matcrazy1
My first task was to find out any safe, cheap and conveniently located accommodation with a safe place for my car. I used small and not very detailed but quite good for driving visitor maps of Rabat in my Michelin Maroc Guide de Tourisme. I marked a few cheap hotels which I found in my Lonely Planet guide and it took me approx. 30 min. to find out Hotel d'Alsace where I decided to stay.
It's not my recommendation to drive around Rabat, never. Use your foot, city buses or a taxi. Although two days later I left my hotel and just after morning rush hours I drove first to Hassan II Tower + Mausoleum of Mohammed V (not so easy driving and easy parking there) and then to Chellah (there was large and almost empty square to park a car in front of the entrance there). Then I found out route to Casablanca which was a bit complicated but I didn't get lost :-). Do not look for big direction signs above your lane - there are none. Instead, from time to time, on some crossroads, there are small signs, often hidden behind trucks/buses and easy to skip. Thus, prepare your itinerary before you start, keep on main avenues and check where you are on the map as often as you can. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Trains run between Casablanca and Rabat twice every hour from Gare de Port. The journey takes one and a half hours.There are two stations Rabat Agdal and Rabat Ville. The latter is the main stop for the town.
We paid 29.50 dirhams each for the trip.
Suitcases were a problem as there is nowhere to put them and the ovehead racks are too small. We left them in the passageway which caused problems for the foodcart.
I was later told that for a small amount more we could have travelled first class which is more comfortable. As it was I did not find it particularly uncomfortable. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

No airport in Rabat. But the city is less than 100 km away from Mohammed V International Airoport, south of Casablanca. It is very easy to go by train, fast, comfortable and cheap: it's 80 DRH each all the way from the airoport to Rabat, travelling first class - but we discovered second class was as good, for nearly half the price!

 URSZULA (matcrazy0) IN
RABAT :-) by matcrazy1
1. walk around the medina + visit to the Kasbah of the Oudaya: 3 - 5 hours
2. Tour Hassan - take a taxi or city bus or take a 40 min. walk first along Andalusian Walls (noicy traffic!)
3. Royal Palace - take a taxi or city bus or take at least 1 hour walk (add Archeological Museum almost on the way).
4. Chellah - off the beaten path, take a taxi or drive there if you have a car or... take a loong walk (add Royal Palace and the Archeological Museum on the way). Leave a Comment Theme: Other

As a matter of fact, getting to Rabat from Casablanca could not be easier: train connexions were good, reliable and relatively fast.
Once in Rabat, walk. The area around the station is full of broad avenues and governemental buildings erected during the French colonial era. From there, you can catch a petit taxi to go to the walled Kasbah of the Uddayahs (pictured here). Leave a Comment Theme: Train

In the old part of town the best way to get around is on foot, or as the Moroccan's call it, bus number 11.
To get to the museum of Antiquities, the Chellah or an other part of town, take one of the blue *Petit Taxi*, fix a price, or ask them to use the meter.
This one is just waiting in front of the restaurant I had lunch! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

We took a bus from Tangiers. It wasn't very pleasant, but it got the job done. THe train is also an option.
We mostly walked around Rabat (the family we were staying with lived close to most of the attractions), but we also took some taxis (make sure to negotiate the price first...and don't overpay, they will try to screw you). Leave a Comment Theme: Train
