And can i rent a car from anywhere out there. is there like a alamo out there? i do not need hotel accomodations i just need to buy a very cheap airline ticket! Any suggestions would be great!

Unfortunately, if you’re flying from Chicago to Morocco, you cannot go directly. The only direct flights from North America to Morocco leave from New York and Montreal (Canada).

If you want to fly directly from the US to Morocco, Royal Air Maroc’s New York – Casablanca flight is your best bet (check their website) – then the train takes only 1:45 from the Casablanca (CMN) airport to Rabat.

If you don’t mind a stopover in Europe, it’s probably cheapest to fly to either Madrid, Amsterdam, Paris, or London from Chicago, then get another inexpensive flight to Casablanca or Rabat. Check Travelocity.com to get an idea of costs. A friend of mine just got the best deal going TO Chicago from Casablanca by flying Casa – Madrid, then Madrid to Chicago.

Keep in mind that even though Rabat is the capital, Casablanca has the largest airport, and by searching for flights to there, you’ll have better luck.

As for money, expect to spend a minimum of 200dh/day (that’s about $20). Hotels cost anywhere from 100dh/night to 1,000dh/night (a decent one starts around 300dh/night), you can eat three meals a day for less than 100dh, and transportation is inexpensive (the train website is www.oncf.ma).

You can rent a car, but you should know that driving conditions are not at all the same as in the US, and rental agencies only rent manual transmissions. Morocco has Avis, Budget and Alamo – check their websites, as it is possible to rent online. You can rent from major agencies in Rabat, Fez, Marrakech and Casablanca. There are also independent Moroccan-owned agencies, but ask at your hotel for a reliable one.
