 Packed with pictures but not for budget traveller February 2, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The book is very nice for pictures. Information is not in-depth, though. Furthermore, a budget traveller should use it together with some "survival" style book (e.g. "Rough guide").
 Great Guide, But Then Aren't All Eyewitness Guides Great? January 17, 2007
1 out of 5 found this review helpful
What can I say? Don't leave home without it. As usual, in addition to all the little details you like to know about before you get to each city, the photographs give you good ideas for where to be, where to stand, what time of day, etc. for you own creativity.
We will not travel without an Eyewitness Guide if there is one for that particular destination.
Beautiful Pictures, Bad Maps December 14, 2006
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
The eyewitness travel guides have 1 thing going for them --- the pictures. You know what you are you looking for and looking at. They are perfect for looking a buildings, or gardens etc.
The bad thing about this guide in particular were the maps were dreadful. The maps for casablanca and marrakech lacked detail and left off major sections especially in the medina. If you are looking for details on mosques and art this is the best book, if you are looking for a guide with maps, reccommendations on food etc this is not the book for you.

I think this series of guides is very good. I've just come back from Morocco and found this to be the better of the books to be carrying (others I met had Footprint, Rough Guide or Lonely Planet). It is as good as an inspiration to go as it is as a reference inside that mosque, market or on that mountain. It must not be confused with the 'comprehensive' reviewed/listing/directory book of the Lonely Planet genre (for people who call themselves adventurers yet cannot go to a hotel that has not been 'bigged up' in their 'bible' - well at least they're all guaranteed to end up in the same shed based on one person's opinion!). There's rarely a book with as many photos and full color diagramatical explanations - call me illiterate but sometimes I just want to see a photo of something and say 'I want to go and look at that'!
Of course the DK guide mentions some of the finer hotels, restaurants etc - but it is limited and one needs to supplement the book with some advance research (and/or booking) or just go and take good advice from locals or other travellers. It has rarely failed me.
I would like to see slightly more detailed maps, however, it is often more convenient to pull out a local copy of a detailed city map when one is strolling around town.
Recommended for before, during and after a trip.
Morrocco travel guide August 2, 2005

It has a lot of wonderful pictures and very clear descriptions of the regions of the country and includes a brief history. I hope Morocco will live up to the wonders of this travel guide!
