A huge cave and tunnel system. The mouth is not that interesting, so it is highly recommended to take a guide. Temporarily closed (as of Jan 2023). Getting there: Especially in low season, public transport is a problem. There is a grand taxi station (Grand Taxis Bab Bouidir - price 12-14 dirham) with occasional services to Bab Bouidir that passes the cave. Just leave when you see the signpost to the cave (or ask the driver) from where it is a 5 to 10-minute walk uphill. It is theoretically possible to flag down a grand taxi coming from Bab Bouidir to get back to Taza, however these are rare and you might spend a lot of time waiting. Another option is to arrange pickup at a certain time, which however will make you pay for the whole taxi (about 70 dirham).
A renovated and very clean little restaurant in Mediterranean style with prettily decorated tables. They offer amongst others salads, tajines, pastilla, pizza and soups.
The hotel also has a decent restaurant.
One of a couple of cheap chicken or sandwich options.
Has ice cream and a good choice of pastries. WiFi access is available.
A good choice if you are looking for a place to breakfast outside the hotel. Unlike most other cafés it is not exclusively frequented by men, so you can feel very comfortable as a woman. The service is very good. A "petit-déjeuner" costs 20-25 dirham, fresh orange juice for 10 dirham, coffee for 6 dirham and hot chocolate for 8 dirham.
Is between Taza-Bas and Taza-Haut, Quartier El-Messaoudia, next to the Boulevard Bel Hassan al Ouazzani, near the Boulevard de 3 Mars. Nice clean rooms with bathroom (hot shower) and TV, a little old-fashioned. In winter-time heated rooms. The service is friendly and obliging.
(**) Nice Art-déco hotel in the center of the Ville Nouvelle. Clean rooms (with bathrooms) at a low price. No heating in winter-time. Friendly and obliging service.
The rooms are big and come with sinks, but don't expect too much for the price. The shared facilities are not always inviting.
By bus
ma website (in French & Arabic). They stop at the Place de l'Indépendance, and have quite a high standard, but sometimes arrive late.
By taxi
To get to nearby towns like Fez and Oujda you also can take the grands taxis. They are faster and cheaper than buses or trains.
Choose an airport to see hotels, stations, taxi ranks and car rental desks around it.
