Guest Appearance

Episode 13: Women Travelling in Morocco

Aired On : September 15, 2022

Joanie Conwell fulfilled a dream in May of 2022, visiting Morocco for two weeks, inspired by the works of Paul Bowles, and with help from the Destination Morocco podcast, especially the Scams episode!

Joanie joins Azdean today to trace her adventure through northern Morocco, starting in Casablanca then staying in Rabat, Tangier, Tetouan, Chefchaouen and Fès.

Joanie recounts special moments with strangers, and gives her views on whether it's a good idea to travel alone to Morocco, and what to expect.

A lot of information on the internet seems designed to frighten travellers curious about Morocco. Walking along the shoreline near Hassan II Mosque, observing regular families strolling at the sunset: the reality is much more nuanced than what you read online.

You're about to learn:

Understanding transportation as a solo traveller. Azdean explains the differences between the petit and big taxis.
The price of a 2nd class ticket on the high speed train (Al Boraq) from Rabat to Tangier.
How the price for virtually everything that isn't prepaid is negotiable. Finding a taxi ride that was one-tenth of the original price quoted.
How to avoid the touts hassling you to sell bus tickets, and just book online. Or, how to prepare for the touts and get a successful outcome.
Joanie's great advice for anyone with dietary restrictions, allergies or other sensitivities to negotiate their way through Morocco (or any Arabic country).

Resources Mentioned in this episode:
