Yes - there is Atlas Blue now from UK. Very good service & nice & cheap too! A few people I know have flown with them this year. It still doesn't avoid the problem with internal flights tho'....

Malika - too funny. Its hard to enjoy beautiful Essaouira when you have a car full of irate passengers . I've done Rabat-Marrakech by train. Its 5 hours from Agdal but its ok. Air-Con, clean etc. My hubby & his bro tried the overnight CTM in winter & of course, the heating was off. Still, at least they arrived in one (frozen) piece ... As for Oujda, I was supposed to go last year & my family did the route you described but overnight. Leave at 10pm arrive 7am or so. Then a taxi to Saidia. Overnight is the only way I could do a 13 hour journey - I'd be ready to kill after 7 hours otherwise

Getting lost from city to city is one thing - how about getting lost within a city? When you're used to using A-Z maps, its so hard to do the Moroccan Directions thing. We did a marathon walk AROUND Marrakech once when we took the wrong turning near the Gare Routiere. A 10 min walk turned into a 1 1/2 walk ..... Viva Moroccan directions (zidi neeShan )
