This fully-revised 8th edition contains insider tips and colour sections on architecture, markets, shopping, festivals and music, plus expanded coverage of Marrakesh. The full- colour section introduces the best Morrocco has on offer from the blue-washed walls of Chefchaouen to the vibrant craft displays of the souks. You'll find evocative accounts of all the main sights including Casablanca's Art Deco architecture to the unique Djemaa El Fna in Marrakesh, and the ancient monuments of Fes as well as practical information on trekking in the High Atlas, surfing on the Atlantic coast and camel-riding in the desert.
