For more information www.cic-cruises.com .In just one trip you can visit several Moroccan ports.

By car

The main roads are in good condition, however they can be very narrow.

The main cities are connected by toll motorways, which are still being expanded.

Signage is in Arabic and French, and the road code is similar to that in most of Europe, but pass to the right. Be very careful as many drivers do not respect the signs unless a police officer is nearby. Vehicles larger than yours should be given priority: vans, buses and even grand taxis.

Rent a car

In big cities there are many car rental companies. Most car rental companies have offices in Morocco. There are also several local companies. These offer lower prices, but look at the condition of the vehicles: a flat tire, etc.

By bus/bus

You luxury buses are a good hypothesis, covering most of the country. CTM, Supratours and some smaller companies provide comfort at reasonable prices. Supratours offers special tickets that combine a bus and train ticket. All bus companies charge separately for luggage.

You public buses they are also a good choice for the tough traveler. They can be very slow as they will stop for anyone, wherever they are. None of the buses are air conditioned (and locals hate to open windows), and they're not very comfortable either.

Almost every city has a central bus station where you can buy tickets to travel from region to region.

By train/train

You trains (operated by ONCF [10]) are usually the best guess because of their speed, frequency and comfort, however the railway network is small.

The only downside of Moroccan trains is that they are very often late, so if you're in a hurry, don't count on timetables.

Train stations in small towns are often poorly marked, but locals will be more than happy to let you know where you are and when to get off. You are expected to greet (salam) new passengers who enter your service, and if you have brought fruit, cake, etc., it is common to offer other passengers something.

Availability

The biggest cities, Marrakesh, Meknes, He did, Tangier, Rabat, Casablanca, etc., are all connected by train. There are usually several trains per day to or from any major city.

trains call Marrakesh and Tangier via Casablanca and Rabat, three times a day, with a secondary line to Oujda from Sidi Kachem, calling Meknes and He did to the main line. At night, trains between Marrakesh and Tangier offer bunk beds for an extra 100 DH. It is the only option if you want to sleep during the trip, as it is difficult to sleep in the seats.

Cost

The trains are very cheap (compared to the trains from the Europe). For example, an individual ticket from Tangier until Marrakesh it costs about 200dh (about 18 euros) in second class, or 300dh (about 26 euros) in first class.

By taxi

Traveling by taxi is common in Morocco. There are two types:

• Petit taxi, used within a city area
• O grand taxi can be used for travel between cities, and for larger groups

They exist Grand Taxis (or shared taxis) that operate between cities; the cost is shared by all passengers. There are six seats per car (if it's a Mercedes, because a Peugeot has 8/9 seats). Two people are expected to share the front seat, with four behind. If you want to leave immediately or if you want more space, you can pay for more seats. Grand taxis usually cost less than a luxury bus, but more than a public bus. Expect to pay more at night than by day, and expect to pay for all the seats in the taxi as well, as it's likely that no one else will show up to share it with.

Prices for petit taxis they are reasonable and it is by law that city taxis must have a meter - although they are not always on. Insist the driver to turn on the meter. If not, ask how much the trip will cost before entering (but it will be more expensive).

Speak

• O Moroccan Arabic is a dialect of Maghreb Arabic. The language is very different from the Arabic traditionally spoken in the middle East, and is also slightly influenced by French or Spanish, depending on which part of the country you are in. This dialect is also related to Spanish, as Spanish was heavily influenced by Moroccan Arabic, before the expulsion in 1492.

• O Berber, or Amazigh language, is spoken by the Berber population of Morocco. In the northern mountainous regions, the dialect is tarifit, in the central region the dialect is Tamazight, and in the south of the country the dialect is Tachelheet.

• O French it is well understood in Morocco, and is the most useful non-Arabic language to know.

• Although in tourist centers there are people who speak English and Spanish, many of these could be touts and false guides. Some shop owners and hotels in urban centers also speak English, but apart from that English is not well known in the country.

Safety

Like any other country, Morocco has its problems, which can be avoided if you follow common sense. Avoid dark alleys. Whenever possible, travel in a group. Hide money and passports or put them in your hotel safe. Don't lose sight of your wallet and/or backpack. Make sure you have no valuables in your back pockets or showing.

If alone, women can suffer from almost constant harassment, but it's usually nothing to worry about. Don't feel the need to be polite in cases like these. Sunglasses make it easier to avoid eye contact. If someone doesn't want to leave you alone, look for families, a busy store, or a local woman, and don't be afraid to ask for help. If you want you can use a hijab (head scarf), but this is not necessary. Morocco can be a very liberal country, and many Moroccan women don't wear one. hijab. However, women must ever dress conservatively (no shorts or short tops), out of respect for the culture you are visiting. In cities, women can wear more revealing clothing, but they should follow the example of local women. Locals assume that Moroccan women who go to ville nouvelle to bars or nightclubs alone are prostitutes looking for clients, and while this does not apply to foreign women, non-locals can also be approached.

Be careful not to get drugged, especially if you are traveling alone. GHB only lasts for three hours and after seven hours it is undetectable in the body, so if attacked take action immediately.

In tourist places, especially in Tangier, there is a lot of approach in order to sell something, take it somewhere, explain something you don't understand, even being inconvenient. The advice is to say thank you and move on. These people are usually crooks, who just want your money. There are some legitimate tour guides, but be aware that your guide receives a commission on everything you buy while you are with him, so don't be persuaded into buying anything you don't want.

Although they are less and less frequent, there are still occasionally armed clashes in the area of Western Sahara between government forces and the polisario front. Don't walk off the beaten path as this region is heavily undermined.

Health

• Vaccines - No particular vaccinations are required to enter Morocco under normal circumstances, but check the CDC website [17] to see if there have been any recent outbreaks. As with most travel, it makes sense to have a fresh tetanus shot. Depending on where you plan to eat, you may need to get a Hepatitis A vaccine.
• Food and drink - Avoid uncooked fruits and vegetables that you cannot peel. Avoid all food that is not prepared when you order it (such as buffets, etc). Usually fried and cooked foods are considered safe. Some travelers have also had problems with certain condiments (such as mayonnaise) used in fast food restaurants.
• Water - it is advisable to drink bottled water (Make sure the lid has never been opened - some people may try to sell used water bottles refilled with tap water). Be careful with ice and other items that can be made with water. Some hotels offer free bottled water to their guests and it is advisable to keep a bottle in your room so you are not tempted to drink tap water.
• Shoes - Save your sandals for the beach. Moroccan streets are like gigantic garbage dumps, and you don't want to be left with fish heads or chicken pieces stuck to your feet.
• Malaria - Present in coastal areas in the north of the country, but not a big problem. Take the usual precautions against malaria (light clothing, insect repellent, etc) and if you are concerned consult your doctor before departure.

respect

• Greetings. Between close friends and family (but rarely between men and women!) three kisses on the cheek are usually used. In other circumstances a handshake is usually used. After the handshake, touch your heart, this represents respect and sincerity.
• At left hands they are traditionally considered 'unclean' in Muslim religion and Arab nomadic cultures as they used to be used for toilet hygiene. As in many cultures it may be considered rude to shake hands, give money, offer or accept something with the left.
• Elderly. Os marroquinos ainda tem a tradição de respeitar os seus idosos e os doentes. Se um deficiente ou alguém mais velho que você passar por si, pare, e deixe-o passar. Se um táxi chegar e estiver à espera com um idoso, espera-se que deixe o idoso ir primeiro que você. Não se espera que os turistas façam isto, mas os turistas são mais respeitados quando aderem às tradições marroquinas.
