Rabat Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Wednesday, 5/20/09

Today was an amazing day at placement! We had the usual crowd of kids, and several were waiting for us when we got there this morning. I think the moms are happy to see us, and we got some smiles and waves. They all speak Arabic and/or French, so I do my best and try to greet them with a "salaamu lekum" which means hello or technically, "peace b...

Working my way around the walls

It has been almost two and a half years since I lived with my family, and even when I did, my homes were an environment of freedom, trust and personal responsibility rather than rules. And as the youngest (well, by seven minutes, but the point holds), I was never even witness to stricter standards. So any transition to a traditional family with ...

Rabat

We arrive to Rabat around 4pm, that is heat time in Morocco. We planed to visit Rabat only because we need next day morning go to Mauritanian embassy to buy visa. In case of spending night in Rabat we decide to find hotel close to train station. We found hotel Central (price 170 dr per double room), nice, expensive, with bathroom inside (toilet...

Ceramics Ceramics and more Ceramics

Fez is a rather large city, a bit of a shock to the system after spending so long in such beautiful natural surrounds. Two things are a must during a visit to the town of Fez. A visit to a ceramics factory is high on the list, which puts things in a whole new perspective as to what you are buying and where your money is going. Every pot, plate, ...

Morocco Part III: we have no more dirhams!

From Fes, we moved on to Rabat, the capital of Morocco. Rabat was quite a refreshing site, it had a different feel to Fes and Tangier. There were no touts when we exited the very modern train station, the main street was lined with palm trees, the city was clean and had a very cosmopolitan feel to it. Our walk to our hotel was slightly marred by...

Take Nothing For Granted

'Lest you think I'm some sophisticated, got-it-together traveler: My first full day in Rabat I set out to explore the medina, looking in particular for the Andalusian garden and its charming outdoor tea room. I follow the map I printed from the hotel's web site, and confidently navigate in the direction of the Atlantic. I hire a knowledgeable (b...

Rabat

The capital of Morocco is not as beautiful as its other cities, nor as historically rich. The city boasts a number of palaces owned by the king and the Chellah Roman Ruins, which is a very interesting place. I saw Chellah in the pouring rain, and I still remember thinking how beautiful it would have been in the sunshine.
