DK Morocco (Travel Guide)

Bought as a present looks great with good pictures good service would recommend it

Found this book very useful on my recent trip to Morocco. Would recommend.

Having previously been primarily a Lonely Planet fan, the DK Eyewitness books they have been publishing in the last few years have started to win me over. Gone are the childish drawings and in is good use of colour and plenty of photographs to keep you informed. This Morocco guide is one of their long format versions with plenty of detail that I decided to check out.With the detail comes the length and size of the book, it is quite chunky but not too big that I wouldn't consider packing it in a bag to take away with me. The book is divided into various sections, some of which will be useful prior to the trip - such as suggested itineraries while others more useful while you're on the ground - such as maps and details on key sights. The book is well laid out and has comprehensive coverage, both the cities and some places out of town included.Overall then if you're looking to get away in Morocco this is a pretty good companion to help you plan and enjoy the holiday.

Arrived promptly as specified. Nice easily read format with good quality photos. It is helpful to have the electronic version to save space on bookshelves and save weight for travelling.

I haven’t been back to Morocco since a holiday to Tangier in 1976 where I also investigated the Souk and the outer market and took a trip into the mountains to Ceuta. Tangier was also the start of the trail to Marrakech and Fez for hippies, artists and musicians in those days. I recently reviewed the DK Marrakech top 10 which we are aiming to visit at some stage soon and for those who want a broader view of this massive country there is this latest Morocco DK guide, so how does it stack up for specific information and street smarts?Such a varied country (covered in some 336 pages) with so many photographs and maps of cities in the 7 key areas covered. As usual for the DK guides, there are suggested itineraries of varying lengths, key interest groups are catered for, The culture and history of the area are also well covered but they may have missed the British use of Tangier in the 1600’s as a naval base pre Gibraltar (Pepys diary). With beaches, coastal towns, mountains and the key towns of Fez and Marrakech ( if you want the classic Morocco) there is so much to see. A good planner with a usual DK guide section on street smarts / practical information before you go. We hope to see Marrakech next year but may try to take in other cities as well. Will update this review in due course

Having always wished to visit Morocco, this guide gives a tantalising glimpse of the joys in store. In one way this makes the job more difficult as there are so many places of cultural interest to visit it would be advisable to visit at least 2 places on any one trip. I was drawn to Fez and Tetouan as first choices, but there are a host of other possibilities. The guide gives excellent advice on what to see and do and forms an ideal first step if you wish to visit this extraordinary country. Highly recommended.

I haven’t bought a DK Eyewitness travel guide for a number of years and was therefore shocked and disappointed at the reduction in quality. It is now a standard paperback guide compared to the hardwearing quality of the cover that I was used to. Also the paper quality was poorer that previously with a Matt finish compared to the glossy finish of previous guides. It no longer seems to be the premium product that these guides once were. Having said that the quality of the information and the cut away illustrations of buildings are still gorgeous and will probably keep me coming back and purchasing additional guides. It just not the the high quality guide that it used to be.

DK seem to have updated a whole slew of their Eyewitness guides.This great news because it means the guides are now up to date and relevant for the traveller to that country. The bad news is that I suppose if you have an older guide you need to buy a new one.This Morocco (Travel Guide) Paperback is an excellent guide to the country full of places to see, things to do and places to eat.As I say above it is new being published on 3 Nov. 2022All you need to know, where to go and what to do are include in a very readable and informative form.The maps included are useful and relative.All in all a good guide to Morocco.Recommended.

I'm going on a two week tour of Morocco next week. The book covered all the places I'm going. I bought it to get a sense of where I was going and what it would look like, and I get ideas for photos to take. Book isn't on shiny paper, so it's not heavy like some travel books, which I like a lot.

I am off to Morocco this Wednesday. This travel guide is great for answering questions I had in my mind and giving me a feel for the country.I know that it will keep memories alive for me after the tripThere are beautiful photos that I know I will not be able to get.

Sembra la guida più aggiornata ma... non è aggiornata! Su Rabat, non si dice che la necropoli di Chella è chiusa per restauro da più di due anni e anche il mausoleo di Mohammed V non è visitabile da inizio pandemia; non cita mai lo stupendo Gran Teatro progettato da Zaha Hadid, iniziato nel 2014 e ormai pronto per l'inaugurazione, autentico capolavoro, opera di eccezionale bellezza che certamente non si può ignorare. Infine, uno dei tre ristoranti suggeriti è chiuso da tempo. Peccato, l'avevo scelta proprio perché aggiornata al 2022...

Tracvel info.

Apart from Marrkech and Fez, we made a considerable detour to visit El Jadida - former Mazagan. The town's only attraction, the Cistern, has been closed since 2019, but there is not ONE mention of this in the guide. Also, despite being a UNESCO World Heritage site, the town itself is falling apart, totally abandoned, as is Azemmour. Yet not one word of this in the guide. I had visited both some 20 years ago, and was shocked at the change. However the guide's description of Volubilis and Moulay Idriss is closer to their reality.
