Morocco: The Rough Guide (Rough Guide Travel Guides)

Just a few miles across the straits from Spain, Morocco offers an experience of travel distinct from anything in Europe. In the south, Trans-Saharan routes link the age-old date palm oases; in the north, cities like Fes allow a fading glimpse of medieval Islamic life, and the coast - both Mediterranean and Atlantic - is scarcely developed. This guide covers all the practicalities, from bars and cafes to the state of the roads, it has accounts of the monuments and landscapes and it backs up the facts with treatment of Moroccan culture, current and past.
