Petit taxis in Morocco

Petit taxi in Fes, Morocco

After visiting the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis we travelled on to Fes, one of the second largest city in Morocco with a population of just over a million people. It is also the site of another World Heritage Site, its fascinating Medina.

Early on the first morning of our stay we were travelling in our tour bus when I took several photos of the local petit taxis, so much smaller than our taxis here in Australia. I guess that they are cheaper to run as well as being easier to drive through the often narrow and crowded streets of the city.

Because we always travelled in the tour company bus, we didn’t get a chance to try using one. At the end of our tour we did get to use several taxis, but we asked for larger vehicles because the three of us had some large luggage (our adult daughter also travelled with us).
