What to Wear: For both men and women, modest and understated clothing is preferable in rabat and women can often avoid unwanted attention by dressing modestly; and this also holds true for men who might want to wear shorts or go out shirtless. No matter what time of year you come to rabat, it is wise to prepare for varied temperatures, as the weather in rabat is somewhat unpredictable, even in the course of one day. Long, loose clothing is often most comfortable and coolest in the summer months. The summer is usually quite hot, but a sweater is handy for the occasional chilly evening. If you're coming in mid-winter an umbrella and rain-resistant jacket may also prove useful, as well as warm sweaters and long underwear! Keep in mind that indoor heating is practically non-existent in Morocco, so it can be quite cold indoors during the winter months. Strong walking shoes (or sandals in the summertime) with non-slip soles are essential.
Cost of Living Transportation expenses for non residence students: bus fares (normally 2.20 Moroccan Dirham per ride) and/or taxi fares (the average fare is 10 Dh) must be kept in mind. Some days students may have split schedules and will need to make the commute twice a day. Meals for students residing in apartments or hotels: Food/meals will average 40 - 120 Moroccan Dirham per day depending on how often one eats out or if one takes advantage of he schools meal plan. Breakfast in a cafe averages 7 - 15 Moroccan Dirham. Lunches and dinners eaten in modest restaurants average 20 - 60 Moroccan Dirham. Food bought for meals prepared in apartments: Produce and foodstuffs in general are inexpensive in Morocco, especially if you shop around a bit. The weekly average for ingredients bought for all meals is about 300 - 600 Moroccan Dirham, depending on how often one buys meat. Fish is also excellent and usually slightly cheaper than meat, but be sure to ask which days the fish arrives. Eating Out You can eat out quite well for reasonable prices around Rabat. In some restaurants a service charge of 10% are listed as a separate item on the bill (not to be confused with the T.V.A., a 19% government tax which may also be added in some cases). If this service is not included in the bill it is normal to leave a 10 - 15% tip for the waiter provided the service was up to par. Some restaurants offer only Moroccan fare while others are more international in variety (salads, steaks, brochettes, omelets, as well as the ubiquitous crème caramel). There are dozens of carabat and restaurants scattered throughout the city and the medina where a decent meal can be had cheaply. It might be best to avoid salads in the least expensive places. Traditional Moroccan restaurants are often housed in hotels or splendid villas that look more like palaces. Our Arabic language program also allows you plenty of time to discover the culture of RABAT MOROCCO.
