Flying in to Rabat was interesting- a green landscape with fields planted with trees in rows, what I can only guess were olive orchards. Minarets of mosques stood out above the homes and businesses, and there were squatter settlements made of tarps and metal scraps on the outside edge of the city. Upon landing, we waited some time to clear customs and then ventured out to the main terminal, a very open space where it was interesting to again "people watch". We loaded up our luggage and then made a quick currency exchange before heading toward our accommodations at Hotel Rabat.
