Family trip from Marrakech to the desert (page 7 of 10)

So, you're back then?

Yep, back home after a wonderful trip. We loved this country so much. I’ve started working on a travel journal, but I think it’s gonna take a while—there’s just so much to tell and show... But winter days are perfect for this kind of thing. And you? How was your trip?

But at the same price as the bus????

Our journey went smoothly. Morocco still charms us just as much. We treated ourselves, and we're already thinking about our next trip!

And I’ll be following you on the roads of Burma. I really enjoyed reading the first few pages. So, I’m looking forward to the rest!

Hi Trostang, thanks for your travel journal—it’s really helpful for planning a short trip to Morocco. I took some notes on the hostels you mentioned... Could you tell me which rental company you used for your Logan? Were they diesel or petrol Logans? Thanks for your reply.

Hi there, If my little trip report can be of any help, that’s great. We rented our diesel cars from Medloc. We’ve been doing this for several years, and it’s always gone smoothly. They’re reliable. Don’t hesitate if you have any questions.

It all depends on the number of passengers. But in a small taxi, you can only fit 3 people. It also depends on where you're going.

Totally agree, and the rules are pretty strictly followed in urban areas. In the countryside, during the first quarter, in the "bush" (mountains, erg...), I still saw quite a few grand taxis that were way overloaded, both with passengers and luggage. It’s not yet fully respected. A huge improvement compared to the last ten years though!!

Thanks Trostang. I’ll contact Medloc.

For the small taxis that drive around the city, it's limited to 3 passengers. Big taxis are different.

For the small taxis that circulate in the city, it's limited to 3 passengers. Large taxis are different.

That's how it generally works for small taxis. For large taxis, I don't know if the number of travelers transported is limited.

Hi Daniel,

In the new big taxis, there are 6 seats, but sometimes clever folks manage to fill the gap between the two back seats with a tiny stool, a small crate, or a pile of blankets to squeeze in one extra spot .

Yeah, I saw that once too. I refused and waited for the next taxi. But it’s still pretty rare. (At least from what I’ve seen on my trips)

In the old Mercedes, which are becoming fewer and fewer, the gear shift was modified to allow an extra passenger up front. That couldn’t have been the most comfortable seat!

the worst seat 😬. But the cramped space in the back with 4 of us wasn’t much fun either. 😅 Sometimes I bought both front seats—we felt like Bernard Arnault’s daughter 😉 😉

Well, don't hold back! Every now and then!

And if on top of that, we have to put up with the neighbor's phone conversation... That's the last straw... I experienced that a long time ago! It can have its charm, but it can get tiring sometimes.

😉 That's the real life of the people. 😉 And it's not often like that.

Sometimes there's nothing worse than a phone call: in Mauritania, it was 4 hours non-stop of an angry imam's sermon blasted from the bus radio at full volume. 😏

So phone calls are nothing compared to that. 😎

Now I travel with my earplugs.

This happened to me with a hitchhiker who recited his prayers the whole trip. Maybe it was because my wife was driving!
