Review
“The books are more easily readable than other guides. The main attractions are also marked with a special icon and sidebars and boxes highlight special information, making the Moon handbooks one of the most user-friendly guides in terms of visual appeal and organization…the quality is uniformly excellent."―Transitions Abroad
"Far from narrow minded, each Moon travel guide gives itinerary options for a variety of travelers’ budgets—from frugal to lavish. They make books catering to those who love the outdoors, those who have limited time, those staying exclusively in cities and those who’ve fully committed to living abroad. In all, they have hundreds of titles, ranging Bermuda to Budapest, that’ll teach you to embrace a new culture."―Gear Patrol, “The Best Travel Guidebooks for Every Journey”
"Moon handbooks have become known as well-written and exceptionally informative guides."―The New York Times
"Moon guides are perfect for the relaxed road tripper or outdoor explorer."―No Small Plan
"Moon handbooks are known for cannily combining logistical information with cultural background of a country or state."―Los Angeles Times
About the Author
Lucas Peters first landed in Morocco in 2009. He came for a new career, teaching English Literature, and a new adventure in a new country. He had lived in different parts of Europe and the US, but never in Africa before. He didn’t count on starting this new life from complete scratch, but that is exactly what he had to do when none of his luggage arrived with him. He spent his first two weeks in Morocco in the middle of the holy month of Ramadan, shopping in markets for food, clothing and other basic necessities without speaking a word of the local language. His unexpected, sudden immersion in Moroccan life made him fall in love with the country.
Since 2009, Lucas has been traveling Morocco, from the date groves of the Sahara to the fishing villages along the Atlantic Coast. He’s dined at Rick’s Café in Casablanca, caught a ride on the Marrakesh Express, gotten lost in the labyrinthine maze of the Fez medina more times than he cares to count, and followed the Beats in Tangier. Along the way, he picked up some of the languages that make Morocco so amazing, made a few great friends, and married his wife, a Tanjaioua from Tangier.
Though Lucas no longer teaches professionally, his travel writing has led him to manage one of Morocco’s most successful sustainable tour operators, Journey Beyond Travel. He lives full-time in Tangier with his wife and two kids. Together, as a multi-lingual family, they continue to explore Morocco: the small towns dotting the national roads, the difficult-to-access mountain villages, secluded beaches, and vibrant, twisting passages of the old medinas.

About the author

Writer and photographer Lucas Peters has spent much of the past two decades exploring and developing his love for travel. He has sipped wine with the monks at the Rila Monastery in Bulgaria, squeezed through a melting glacier in Iceland, and awkwardly tried to dance in the hippest club in Berlin. He has busked on the streets of London, concussed himself snowboarding in the Alps, road-tripped with friends through most of Italy and discovered that not all roads lead to Rome (and that it is a very good idea to travel with an old-fashioned road map). He has ordered lunch in Czech, negotiated a car rental in Bulgarian, and talked himself out of a parking ticket in Granada using very, very broken Spanish. Today, from his base in Tangier, Morocco he often finds himself peering over the Strait of Gibraltar to Spain from his balcony, dreaming about tapas.
Lucas is the author of Grand European Journeys, Moon Morocco, Moon Marrakesh & Beyond, and Moon Seville, Granada, and Andalusia. He also recently contributed to Our Morocco: Moroccans and Expats Share Their Hopes, Dreams, and Adventure.
Lucas has written and photographed articles various magazines, journals, and other outlets, including En Route, Transitions Abroad,Travel Zoo, The Luxury Blog, Verge Magazine, Veg News, and Travel + Leisure.
Today, Lucas lives in Tangier with his wife and two kids. Together, as a multi-lingual family, they continue to explore Morocco, Europe, and beyond!

self-guided International trips, and found this book to be the best in terms of planning itineraries, being a good guide for immersion into local culture (including excellent descriptions of local cooking classes for delicious Moroccan cuisine), and the BEST Index.
Highly recommended.
My experience is that the best travel books give you more than places to go, they also educate. Peters is clearly in love with the country and promotes openness to Moroccan culture. But he also tells you what to avoid and what you need to know to stay out of trouble. Really, you won't find a better book about traveling to Morocco!
Highy recommend it!
Just like the author, we 'know' Morocco quite well and found it truly a pleasure to read, a nice mélange of experiences, insights, and itineraries. Culinary argan oil is mentioned as 'cooking' or 'alimentary' oil. Nice attention to food in the Kingdom of Spices. Handy book size.
