I always tend to prefer Rough Guides when I'm travelling and this one is no exception. Plenty of maps (even for some of the smaller places in the guide), listings for hotels, bars, cafes, restaurants etc. There are some colour photo sections, I always find them a bit superfluous but I guess they give a feel for the place. There's a 'contexts' section at the back which includes a brief history, some further reading advice and a brief Arabic, French and Berber word list. Worth noting that apart from for numbers the Arabic is all phonetic, ie. in the Roman alphabet, so is really only intended for speaking purposes.
The general travel advice is good, with visa info, pointers on everything from culture and etiquette to tampon availability. There's also the usual good transportation advice, both to and within Morocco. The previous edition got complaints about durability (basically it fell apart on lots of people). This one looks pretty solidly bound but I'll change the review if it does collapse on me.
All in all I'd heartily recommend this guide to would be Morocco visitors.

This is a really detailed guide, quite large when you see it first but is very accurate and fair in the information contained. The maps we used were very good and it certainly helped make our trip much more fun and easier to get about on as first time visitors.

Unless a Rough Guide gets bad reviews, it is my preferred choice for traveling in a country. I came back from backpacking in Morocco not too long ago, and having checked out other people's Lonely Planets often as well, I would still recommend you to take the Rough Guide. There was however one thing that disappointed me a bit, namely that the guide contains a lot of expensive accommodation. For instance in Marrakech, about one third of the accommodation mentioned in the guide is over a 100 euros a night. And it does not even mention the most popular hostels that are mentioned on hostelworld. The guide contains 9 price classes for accommodation. There are three different classes for accommodation that are more than 100 euros a night, yet there is only class for 10 euros or less. And we're talking about Morocco people, not France. I don't know, maybe the targeted audience for this book is different than what I thought. Overall, still a great guide book ! For anyone still heading to Morocco, if you're traveling on a budget, just head for the Medina in any city, and cheap accommodation will find you.

Rough guide, mmm yes I agree!
When trying to find a location mentioned in the book, a map reference would have been really handy. This is standard is most guide books, seemingly apart from this one. Read more

Good guide
It's a good guide, pretty helpful although not very detailed. I would recommend it anyway, especially for those who are planning a short trip to Morocco.
