🇲🇦 Rabat: The Free-Spirited City of Romance & Adventure
As an exchange student at Mohammed V University, I fell in love with this North African gem—where European elegance meets Islamic mysticism! ✨ 🚦 Transportation 🗺️ Walking: Rabat is compact—most sights are strollable! 🚕 Taxis: Use inDrive (fixed prices, but drivers may haggle). Pick-up spots are limited to app landmarks. 🚉 Tram: Buy tickets on-site (~6 MAD). 🚌 Bus: 5 MAD (~3.5 RMB) per ride. 💰 Cost of Living 🛒 Groceries (Carrefour, Marjane, etc.): Veggies 🥬 ≈ China prices Meat 🥩 ≈ Slightly pricier but top quality! Seafood 🐟 = CHEAP & fresh! (Hit Central Market before noon, Mon-Thu!) 🍷 Alcohol: Rare & expensive (only at Hyper supermarkets). 🚬 Cigarettes: 26-36 MAD (~20-30 RMB) per pack (taste mid). 🥤 Drinks: Water tastes weird—stick to local sodas (cheap & tasty!). 🍪 Snacks: Diabetes-level sweet—bring insulin! 😂 🛍️ Souvenir Guide 👟 Pointed Babouche Shoes: 100-300 MAD (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) 👘 Berber Robes: ~300 MAD (coarse but stylish) 💍 Vintage Berber Jewelry: 150-1000 MAD (stunning!) 🖼️ Fridge Magnets: 10 MAD (cute & cheap!) 👝 Leather Goods: Backpacks (150 MAD), jackets (1300 MAD)—insane quality! 🍯 Argan/Cactus Oil: 20-50 MAD (holy grail of skincare!) 🧣 Silhaam Cloaks: ~700 MAD (cozy & chic!)
