💰 How far does your money go?
A döner in Frankfurt now costs €8-9. In Fez or Tangier, a bowl of bissara bean soup in the medina costs under €1, a glass of mint tea about €1 and a full chicken tagine at a local spot €5-7. A petit taxi across town costs €1-2, as long as the driver uses the meter.
☀️ The Weather
January is mild in northern Morocco. Expect highs of 16-18°C in Tangier and Rabat, with nights around 8-9°C and some rainy days off the Atlantic. Fez sits inland and gets the same 16°C by day, but nights drop to 4-5°C, so pack a warm layer for the evenings.
