4.0 out of 5 stars
generally good but minor niggles let it down,
By
This review is from: Time Out Marrakech - 3rd Edition (Paperback)
This guide is generally quite good. it is comprehensive and the maps held in it are excellent for finding your way around.
It covers all the usual stuff as well as some basic background info and good references for restaurants, hotels and sights. However, there are one or two niggles that let it down. Sights are covered often in a number of different places and only sometimes referenced between them. Items which are not open or not yet open at time of going to press are mentioned, but with limited info making it difficult to find out whether they are now open (2 years after publishing). The biggest annoyance is page references. Where another sight or shop / restaurant is referenced in the book, the page numbers are listed. However these have not been updated and as such you just end up searching through the entire section anyway. Its not a major issue, but its annoying and should just be done right as it is just a basic thing.

An appropriate guide for hip-and-happening Marrakech,
By
This review is from: Time Out Marrakech - 3rd Edition (Paperback)
Admittedly, Time Out wasn't the first guidebook that came to mind when I was planning a trip to Marrakech. Although, generally, I'm quite a fan of these guides, I thought perhaps they were better suited to places more 'hip-and-happening' than I imagined Marrakech to be. How ignorant of me. Marrakech is 'hip-and-happening' - very much so, as this guide makes quite clear.
Gives basic information on history and architecture. Good coverage of hotels and riads. Excellent recommendations for restaurants. Clear, easy to follow maps for the main parts of town. Some great suggestions for trips out into the High Atlas, the Sahara and the fashionable coastal resort of Essaouira. Contains fine photographs that capture the exotic atmosphere of Morocco. My only complaint about this new addition is that while earlier issues of the guide covered Rabat, Casablanca, Fes and Tangier - fleetingly at least, this version does not. A pity, as all of these places can be reached by train and/or coach [sometimes overnight] from Marrakech and are worth exploring. Still, as a guide to Marrakech and its environs, it's well worth considering.

Old edition?,
By Duchess Trotty "Trotty" (Cambs UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Time Out Marrakech - 3rd Edition (Paperback)
I love Time Out series of books, but not sure if this is the latest edition being sold on Amazon. Contained information for Ramadan upto 2009!! considering it was bought in 2010 some info is seriously outdated. Didn't realise motor bikes were allowed around the souks in Marrakech, and they are fast - beware if you have children with you.
