Well, and I found a lot of peace in Meknes also... marmar mariam Post Count: 11 Msg: #23 9 weeks ago, October 23rd 2009 | How about Meknes? Travel sites say that it's really beautiful but I havent seen people mention this city much on this site. | Also, I read on one of the sites that the distant between Marrakesh and Fez is a 7 hour travel by train and the trains run only in the morning. Is that true? Is there a faster way to get there? PA Leslie Pierre-Alexandre Post Count: 881 Msg: #24 9 weeks ago, October 23rd 2009 | Meknes is really beautiful. They have few amazing sites. | Zoabzy1 Zoe Post Count: 1 Msg: #25 9 weeks ago, October 27th 2009 | Esaouira, Fes and Chefchaouen are definetly my favs. Chefchaouen is lovely up in the mountains, a small village type of atmosphere, it was great. Esaouria was awesome beachy feel, with some great views of the atlantic and some hidden gems. It also have great beaches with kite surfing, so much fun. And Fes, that medina is amazing, just go get lost, and buy some leather its great. | marmar mariam Post Count: 11 Msg: #26 9 weeks ago, October 28th 2009 | What is the distance from Marrakesh to Fes? and what is the means of transportation? I hear there is a 7 hour slow train ride from one city to another! There must be a faster transportation, isn't it? | cheb30 abdel Post Count: 3 Msg: #27 8 weeks ago, October 31st 2009 | hi morocco its good place if u will have some adventur come to south like dades valley dotgha s valley desert u will see good mountain nomad alot of things im sure that u will be intersting | MO1969 Mohammed Qayed Post Count: 15 Msg: #28 5 weeks ago, November 20th 2009 | Hi Marmar.. | If you are welling to visit Marrakech and from Marrakech to Meknes then I would suggest to go to Khenifra and stay there 1 night. It is a small town on Atlas mountains and it is nice to stay a night then continue to Meknes. Meknes is nice city and it is one of the 4 royal cities in Morocco. But Meknes can be seen all together 2 days only. Fez is of course not far away from Meknes. So, I would suggest to stay in Fez and from there visit Meknes early morning. On the other hand, while you stay in Fez don't forget to visit Ifrane and around. It is amazing place to visit. marmar mariam Post Count: 11 Msg: #29 5 weeks ago, November 20th 2009 | Thank you Mohammed. This is becomming a really difficult trip to organize. I have 7-8 days for Christmass holidays and I would like to go to Morrocco. I have narrowed it down to Marrakesh and Fez (and probably Meknes since it's close to Fez). Since I have a limited time I would like to fly from Marakesh to Fez. I'll be flying from france, so the flight will be paris to Marrakesh, Marrakesh to Fez, Fez to Paris. I have only found one flight on internet, and what is it soooo expensive! $700!! and really odd hours of flight! I hear there are trains from Marrakesh to Fez but that's 8 hours!! I don't have that much time to spend in trains! Is there a Morrocan travel agency I can call? or check on line? | Also, if I have 8 days, how many days would you give to Marrakesh and how many days to Fez? what is the distance from Fez to Meknes? Thank you so much for all your imput. As much as I love to arrange for this trip, I work too much and get too tired in the evening to do all this research. I look for distances from cities on the internet and I can't find a decent website to give me all this information. Thank you again, Mar MO1969 Mohammed Qayed Post Count: 15 Msg: #30 5 weeks ago, November 21st 2009 | Hello again Mar, | As far as I know the distance between Marrakech and Fez is over 400 km. and the roads is so difficult as it is all mountains. While the distance between Fez and Meknes is only 65km by motorway. Regarding flights from Marrakech to Fez, as far as I know there is no direct flight it should be via Casablanca. I hope I am wrong. A train.... well... there is also no direct I believe you have to change it some where in Casablanca or some where near casablanca. That is why if you can make it by road via Khenifra would be much better (that is my suggestion). Marrakech, I would say you may need 4 dyas if you want to see inside and outside Marrakech. But you should wake up little early to finish everythings. On the other hand, if you just want to see inside Marrakech then I would say 3 days (also wake up early). Fez, I would say the same. I really don't have any website for any travel agent in Morocco. I usually rent a car there and go around by a map. If you need any further information, just let me know. Mohammed Albarino David Post Count: 3 Msg: #31 4 weeks ago, November 29th 2009 | "Favorite city" is a tough question to pigeon hole a city by. | It really depends on what you are looking to do? Good food? Do touristy things? Feel like a local? All cities in Maroc have their pluses and minuses. Many mentions of Fez and Marakesch... nice places, but inundated with tourists and touts. To get a real feel for Morocco, try visiting Rabat, Agadir or Meknes. Or venture out to Erg Chebi. 31 Replies: « back 1 2 next » | Number of Users: 13 | Number of Posts: 31 31 Replies: « back 1 2 next » | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
