Day 1 North Morocco tour

Up early to catch the 8.30 train to Rabat. It takes 1 hour.
Rabat is the capital of Morocco and is very clean and more European/Greek looking.
We have 4 hours to walk around a bit of Rabat and have lunch. We walk through market streets to go the Kasbah des Oudaia which is very pretty. White walls and blue paint, reminding people of Greece. It's like a little village with tiny stepped streets. There are stalls here too, a small botanical garden.
2 of us have some Moroccan biscuits and a thick Moroccan coffee.
My Moroccan sim card came in handy today. I was the only with reception so it was my phone we used for our self-guided Googlemap walk

Then back on the train for 2 hours to Meknes. Catch 3 taxis to get us to our overnight accommodation up in the hills. Moulay Idriss
Our luggage is taken up the steep steps by mules. This place also has steep narrow streets, only a mules width.
We stay in a family guesthouse and have a very scrumptious Moroccan meal.
Before dinner we had a walk around this village and watched the sun set.
There is a mosque here too we aren't allowed to visit. Also a village square with stalls, food stalls, kids playing soccer. It looked like families came out to have a nice time.
The guesthouse is very nice too.Weiterlesen
