Is it me or are the rent prices in Rabat crazy expensive?

According to the figures available quite readily on the internet for cost of living rents for a one bedroom apartment in the city center are listed at 5,214.42 MAD and outside the city center at 5,163.16 MAD. You can get all of the other cost of living information at www.numbeo.com

Didn't you do your homework before moving? Rent prices and cost of living are the first things that you should find out before considering to move anywhere, aren't they?

Thanks for the message, yes I did do my homework, but I didn't realise that like London, to get a decent sized place to live, you have to pay nearly or over 100000Dh. Unfortunately My wages are below this amount, so prospective expats, beware!

Where in Rabat are you looking? When I go to Morocco I can find reasonably priced apartments (for Rabat) in Agdal and Hassan.

It's not about you or about the price it's about the place where you rent !!! There are some places like angdal  the price is  Very high please notice that the prices going down wherever u are farther from center of the city

Yes, I am looking in places further away from the popular areas. Thanks!

I will send you a site will help you in pm wish you luck

Thanks!!!

Joyce...have you considered Sale'? It's right across the river from Rabat and the rent there is cheaper I believe.

hi. No it is not you. Prices are terribly high.Morocco is becoming expensive. I think it's because Moroccans generally can't rent as their salaries are too low. When they get married they usually rent but at a much lower rate then for us foreigners!!! Frustrating. My son is looking to share  close to Rabat ville, so if you know of anything please contact me.

Look at the options in Temara / Temara Plage ... or Salé (maybe some place nearest the tramway)
