Customer Reviews

Excellent and detailed information

I particularly like the approach this book has about the special cultural concerns and attitudes of Morocco. I bought this book because I borrowed it from the library and really liked it; I didn't want to return it, so I got my own! I will take it when I go to Morocco--high praise, indeed, as I prefer to travel light.

Saved my butt a few times!

The Lonely Planet series never disappoints. It always has great information and tips that really help out. I like how honest the writers are about both the positive and negative aspects of the places they are reviewing. When travelling the books become my number 1 resource.

Lonely Planet Guide Morocco

I love this books, they are the best travel guides. The book was in perfect condition and it arrived on time.

Great!

The Lonely Planet travel guides are the best!! We've been to Morocco a few time and the guide has never steered us wrong! There is no comparison to any other guide!

Just a little bit outdated

Despite all the bad things that people say about LP, they're still one of the best books out there. They're not totally full of glossy pictures, and not just a bland reem of text. The maps are very useful, and highly detailed, and the recommendations for restaurants help you weed through all the tourist traps. That said, I've often followed their suggestions to restuarants or cafes that don't exist anymore. If LP could find a way to update their books every year, I'd be a bigger fan than I am right now. In this book, for instance, they tell you that the Morora is the only train station in Tanier, when the new Tanger Ville station was just recently opened. It could be a confusing moment if a cabby were to refuse to take you to a station that you don't know is nonexistent. But they do cover almost everything that you could think of in terms of transportation and navigating your way around. I like that with each city they put the population, so that you know what kind of a place you're going to. The overview maps also give you a way of figuring out where you are in relation to other places. It has its faults for sure, but I've not been able to find a much better series.
