4.0 out of 5 stars Great for mental preparation, and to take to the sights, June 15, 2008

Though many swear by the LP guides, my Eyewitness guide did me well during my recent 10 day excursion through Marrakesh, Fes, and Casablanca. It's not so great for finding hotels and restaurants, as well as many "big picture" details (like where to find walking tours, etc.), but the history sections at the beginning of the guide were incredibly informative and helped me understand the culture and background of the people before I went, and the pictures (both photos and illustrations) and descriptions of the sites are great. Especially important since in Morocco, if there's a non-Arabic description of anything, it's typically only in French. Finally, it's a good keepsake at the end of the trip... a great collection of photos of the sights in case you weren't able to take enough.

All in all, my travel buddy had an LP guide, which we used for finding hotels and to figure out a walking tour in Casablanca, and we used my Eyewitness guide for everything else. Perfect for us.

I feel like I was cheated. While researching travel guides, I found this one and when i clicked to buy it a window popped up saying: "You can get it used for $4.95". So I did it not realizing until I received the book in the mail that this was a 2002 edition! What good is that in a travel guide? None at all.

This book is one of the best I have ever seen for Morocco. It is insightful, full of pictures and diagrams, and packed with information on every page. Eyewitness travel books have quickly become my favourite series of travel books. After reading this, I wanted to go to Morocco right away. It provides you with information on Dining, Hotels and Shopping, while showing you pictures and diagrams of interesting things all over the country. I recommend this book to everyone!
