Customer Reviews

Great Guide Book

I bought this book a couple of months before my trip to Morocco at the beginning of 2009. Even though this book was published in late 2007, the prices and information are still accurate. I decided to purchase the rough guide because my previous experience with a Lonely Planet guide book left me broke (underestimated prices) and with inaccurate information. The Rough Guide to Morocco contained a lot of practical information, great advice for food, lodging and activities; the prices were accurate every time. The historical and anecdotal comments within the text are very helpful and useful, not too much, but a great way to further your understanding of what you are seeing, especially if you aren't the type to find tour guides everywhere you go. I highly recommend this book, and if you are thinking of traveling to Morocco soon, don't be afraid to buy this book because it was published in 2007, you'll still find it very accurate now. (Just as a side note, two women traveling alone in Morocco isn't the best idea, you won't be in danger, but prepare for major, almost debilitating harassment)

Great

The book arrived on time and in perfect condition. However, Rough Guides make it a little difficult to find basic details. I prefer Lonely Planet's style but it's way too overused!

The new edition is excellent

I have no experience with the previous edition, and until now I only used the Lonely Planet on Morocco, but I did some tests on issues I had found missing in the Lonely Planet and the new Rough Guide passed the test excellently. For instance the Lonely Planet had hardly anything on the nice road between Taroudant and Ouerzazate, in between two Atlasses, so almost fully skipping saffron paradise Taliouine and carpetters paradise Tazenaght, while the Rough Guide does not assume you will pass that road through Marrakch, which requires crossing the High Atlas twice. And even on the road from West to East behind the Anti-Atlas through Tissint etc. the Rough Guide has a feature. It is more weighty than the Lonely Planet, but that is because it has more information, and that is what one eventually needs. Neil in Amsterdam

Great for the armchair traveler

I am not actually planning to visit Morocco, but I like /thinking/ about visiting Morocco. I found this guide literate and insightful.

evarything about morocco is excellent

Thanks for this direct informations about morocco. A lot of people especially in the usa were carrying such a wrong image about morocco but now I am certain that most of them start to change this image .I have read one of the books that you have about morocco and I was really fascinated by the way the author describes people, cities, geography....prejudices never works against reality and reality is achieved only by a journey to the place to see what's going on. MOROCCO IS A MAGICAL COUNTRY as the author says and I agree with him definitely. you are making a great job. Keep on .
