    I would describe this as the ultimate guide to Morocco. I bought it in Sevilla one day before my first trip there in 2001, a week after the Twin Towers attack. It made me discover the Hotel El Muniria in Tangiers (1, rue magellan) meeting point of the various writers who lived there during the sixties: people like Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs. Burroughs stayed in El Muniria for a while where he is said to have written, or at least finished, his Naked lunch. The Hotel is still unchanged since those times.
    I later tried to read The naked lunch but I couldn't make it.
    I lost this guidebook in Fes, on my fourth trip to Morocco in september 2008.

    very, very thorough. Good information on travel within Morocco (city to city) and covers so much of the country that you could stay there for a year and keep using the book.

    Pretty good, maybe a little better than the Lonely Planet guides I've looked through.
