Travelling in Morocco

Hi,

Considering travelling to Morocco in 3 weeks for a few weeks. What is the best way of travelling around the country, is the train or bus system any good?

What are temperatures like, I hear rumours they can be unbearable in July?

What is accomodation like? Do you recommend any particular type?

Thanks

The train doesn't go everywhere, so it depends on where you want to go. The trains are, the buses are likely to crowded, hot, and smokey (and bone jarring if you go from Marrakesh to Ouarzazat)

It WILL be hot. Just hotter in some places than others. The desert is hotter but it's dry. The humidity on the coast is worse (IMHO). Stay hydrated, wear a hat and avoid the middle of the day.

It ranges from 5-star to 0-star. Depends on what you can afford, and your tolerance for various discomforts (noise, smells, cleanliness, etc). People can recommend certain establishments if we knew which cities you'll be at.

Happy planning! Dys

all the answers sofar are accurate. it you are traveling cheap, there are government buses- CTM plus another new service- that travel basically at night and can take you all over Morocco.

After Marrakech, there are no train south or east or west.. it is hot except for the mountains. But in the souks of the larger cities, you can be relatively cool. Try to get an A/C hotel room.

the desert area is very hot. i know. shall go there for o2 days to get my new residency card.. make sure buses are a/c if you use them. taxis are not a/c as i recall.

Can rent cars with a/c....

good traveling... E. Elena Hall, Co Director Blue Men of Morocco Co. Visit us in Morocco! http://www.bluemenofmorocco.com
