Summary: Essential for the first, second, third.....time visitor
Review: I am preparing to depart on my third trip to Morocco. This book is THE BEST travel guide for Morocco. It gives the first time traveler and the veteran good insight on where to go, what to see, and the all important how to act and how not to get taken advantage of.. My husband, a Moroccan native won't travel around his country without it.

Summary: Superb, simultaneously comprehensive and concise
Review: I just returned from a wonderful stay in Morocco, and this book was most useful. One minor quibble - re the book's advice against men wearing shorts - it's quite acceptable now

Summary: Engaging and informative
Review: Just returned from a 17 day trek to Morocco, and this LP guide never left our bodies. Prices, especially for hotels, were remarkably in line with the guidebook - a real shock, considering it's now two years old. Still, the quality of a couple of highly-touted good deal-rooms have deteriorated. An updated volume would be great; hope it's forthcoming. (Also Ñ and this might be streching it - while the book makes cursory mention of Morocco's huge unemployment rate and poverty ills, LP Morocco hardly paints the picture of the grim reality of life in some towns and cities. One can't expect a travel guidebook to completely prep you for those types of social problems, but I thought the authors glossed over those facts.) Other than these complaints, though, LP's Morocco is an essential, and much more informative, read than the Rough Guide Morocco. And compared to other LP guides, its Morocco edition is a cut above.

Summary: The guide is OK
Review: Once more, Lonely Planet has managed to write a complete guide to the budget traveller. I've recently been to Morocco and this guide was very useful. But I think it should be more explicit when writing about how to avoid being robbed, harassed and how to drive among those crazy Moroccans.

Summary: Lonely Planet Covers Morocco
Review: Separated from Europe by only 10 miles off the Strait of Gibraltar, Morocco is at once a crossroads and a frontier state - a gateway for Europeans into Africa and for Africans and Arabs into Europe and for many travelers, it is their first taste of Africa. With Lonely Planet's "Morocco" travel guide, you can explore the dark and romantic Morocco depicted in film and also discover an emerging modern state reconciling Islamic tradition with western liberalism. Thoroughly updated with a new focus on women travelers, this is the essential companion for the independent traveler on any budget.Nuts & Bolts: • 70 detailed maps • expanded information on trekking routes in the High Atlas and Rif Mountains • illustrated guide to Islamic art and architecture • 16-page color section featuring Morocco's renowned arts and crafts • hundreds of recommendations on where to stay and eat • expanded cultural notes on traditional lifestyles, music and food • Arabic, French and Berber language sections

Summary: My wife and I kept this with us at all times....
Review: This was my third interaction with Lonely Planet books and I am impressed. The information and maps are more than fairly accurate (there is not much you can do about the winding narrow passages in the old towns). During our stay, we not only carried this with us to get better background information on all the sites we saw, but we also would spend part of the evenings reviewing the history and planning our next day's excursions. I concur with the other review about men wearing shorts. It didn't seem to be a problem for myself or my wife in many of the major cities (like Fes, Marrakech, and Rabat). I would recommend this guide before (to plan what you want to see), during (to understand what you are seeing), and after (to help you determine what exactly you photographed) your trip.
