Transportation in Rabat

# Getting Around Rabat Rabat, Morocco's capital city, offers several transportation options for visitors, though specific route data is limited. The city features a modern tramway system that connects key areas, making it a reliable choice for tourists navigating between major attractions and neighborhoods. Taxis are widely available throughout the city - both petit taxis (small taxis for local trips within Rabat) and grand taxis (larger vehicles for longer distances). For those comfortable with local transport, buses serve various routes across the capital, though schedules and route information should be verified locally. **First-time visitors should know** that Rabat is relatively compact and walkable in the city center, with the medina, government district, and waterfront areas accessible on foot. The tramway is particularly tourist-friendly with clear signage and announcements. When using taxis, petit taxis should use meters for trips within city limits - confirm this before departing. French and Arabic are the primary languages, so having your destination written down can be helpful. **Airport transfer tip:** Rabat-Salé Airport serves the capital, though many international visitors arrive via Casablanca's Mohammed V Airport (approximately 90km away). For current transportation options, schedules, and pricing from either airport to Rabat city center, check the booking widgets on this site for the most up-to-date information from our transport partners.
