Berlitz Pocket Guide Morocco is the ultimate handy guide to
this ancient, mysterious and breathtakingly beautiful country, with
144 pages combining authoritative narrative detail and stunning
colour photography. The book begins with two inspirational features
to help you explore: a rundown of Morocco''s Top 10 Attractions,
followed by an itinerary for a Perfect Tour of the country. An
introduction to Morocco, giving you background information on its
people, geography, climate and culture, is followed by a brief
history, including a quick-reference Historical Landmarks timeline.
Throughout the guide, colour feature boxes brief you on points of
historical and cultural interest. The main section of the book is
the Where to Go chapter, which leads you through the country; it
starts in Tangier in the north, moves down the Atlantic coast to
Rabat and Casablanca and then inland to the imperial cities of
Meknes, Fez and Marrakech, where the medieval intricacies of the
medinas go hand-in-hand with fashionable roof-top bars and chic
renovated riads. The chapter then heads into the High Atlas, dotted
with isolated Berber villages which seem virtually untouched by
time.
Finally we explore the popular seaside resorts of the southern
Atlantic coast, including Essaouira and Agadir. Throughout the
chapter, number dots link the sights to the handy maps on the cover
flaps. Next, the What to Do chapter is a snapshot of ways to spend
your spare time in Morocco, whether shopping in Marrakech, hiking
in the High Atlas, camping in the desert or surfing on the Atlantic
coast. You can read about the nightlife and entertainment
available, get tips on how to haggle, and find out if there''s a
festival going on while you''re visiting - this is a great
opportunity to experience genuine Moroccan folk music and dance.
The Eating Out chapter covers the country''s exotic cuisine,
describing what to eat, where to try it and what drinks are on
offer, and includes a handy Menu Reader with all the words and
phrases you will need while dining out. The chapter is followed by
carefully chosen listings of Morocco''s best Places to Eat. The
final sections of the guide are the A-Z Travel Tips - covering all
the practical information you''ll need, from budgeting to health to
transport - and listings of Morocco''s best hotels, riads and
resorts.
