This is for the 13th edition (2021), which has a different crew of writers than what I see listed here. it is a good guide to all that this fascinating and varied country has to offer. So far as places to stay and eat are concerned - there are many more options than what you see listed here. Morocco has a big tourist industry and there is a lot available, especially in the cities. I do thank this guide for pointing me to what was my favorite restaurant (out of many good ones) in Morocco, an inexpensive local joint in Rabat.

Sometimes I wonder if I should keep buying travel guides in the 20s, but then I come across a guide book like this... It helped me survive Morocco (often without Internet) and plan everything from how to reach the next destination to which dish of a region to try and how to say "thank you" in the Berber language of the Atlas villages. Precious! Thanks to the editors for keeping it up to date; esp. the info on how to reach remote places and the prices for taxis, minibuses, etc, have been very useful!

For a recent trip to Morocco, I bought the 2007 edition of Lonely Planet's MOROCCO guide alongside its major competitor, THE ROUGH GUIDE TO MOROCCO. While Lonely Planet's guide covers the major sights and will be just the thing for casual holiday makers, it unfortunately continues the publisher's trend of abandoning "travel as lifestyle" readers, once Lonely Planet's target demographic.
If you intend on slowly working your way through the whole of Morocco, seeking contact with the locals at all cost, and traveling cheaply, then Lonely Planet guide is not really worth it. LP seems to assume that the reader is rich: it recommends expensive hotels and suggests that one hire guides. It also doesn't push people to meet ordinary Moroccans. Hammams (Turkish-style baths) are a great way to enter into local custom, but instead of listing ones patronized by the locals, LP often lists expensive spa-type locations. Morocco is also a paradise for hitchhiking, where again one is brought directly into contact with people not in the tourist trade, but LP doesn't pitch it.
Comparing the LP to the Rough Guide to Morocco, the Rough Guide comes out on top. Sure, the presence of a few ads in the text, and the fact that the Rough Guide line is published by the faceless corporation Penguin, are annoying. Nonetheless, the Rough Guide caters to all audiences, both the wealthy and shoestring travelers. The Rough Guide also describes Morocco in considerably more detail than the Lonely Planet guide, gives substantial recommendations on music, books, and film from or about Morocco, and even includes a few tales by Moroccan traditional storytellers.
Ahough both publishers have put out 2007 editions, the Rough Guide is more up to date than the Lonely Planet. An increasing number of travelers are heading down through Western Sahara to Mauritania and beyond. This route has gotten easier, with transportation now easy available from Dakhla. But Lonely Planet's coverage of this entire area seems to have changed little since the 2005 guide, and the authors still claim you have to provide your own transportation.
I found really only two points in favour of purchasing the Lonely Planet guide. One is a large section dedicated to trekking, which the Rough Guide lacks (though here it again assumes that the readers are wealthy). The other is that LP's maps are slightly more detailed for some cities than those in the Rough Guide. All in all, if you are a wealthy traveler looking for a relaxing but exotic vacation, you can ignore all that I've written and buy LP's guide with confidence. If you are an independent traveler planning on trekking, get both the LP and the Rough Guide. But the backpacking and hitchhiking crowd can just get the Rough Guide and pass the LP by.

This book explained things, but there is nothing like experiencing Morocco for itself. It truly is a whole other world!
Currently reading
February 21, 2022Ok seeing how this book is really long ( I'm reading this on my computer so it's longer on my computer then my kindle.) I am going to write my review on the section's the book breaks it down. Hopefully this will not change that I stopped reading it, because I am at four percent lol. Also this is going to be a long review, which to some I know will hate. However, you can go on Amazon and see the table of contents, and I will put in big bold letters what I will be writing about, so hopefully it will help. Also if you have any tips just comment them below or message me.
Why go?
When to go?
Best places to eat/ sleep
Highlights
History
Top sights/ night life/ activities
Some of these of maps to show where it is and the top sights/ night life/ activities are all located on the map that is proved. If you are read this on the computer, kindle, or phone the maps aren't the best. I don't know what the paperback looks like but I would hope they are better than the screen. On the computer, where is has the top sights and things it is highlighted blue and you click it and takes you to the book of the book. This just gave a small description of what you clicked on. In the kindle I'm sure if you click it will also do the same. Book it might be difficult to find what you want because I don't have a hard copy so I can't tell you if it's easy or not. However, if you just skip all of that it has everything right after. If you alright know what you want to see then I would just click that spot.
Alright so the BEGINNING OF THE BOOK it also gives what the MOST POPULAR PLACES are to visit, I looked up the places just to see what it looks like. I don't know about you but I like to see what the area is like, also to see if it's something I would like to research more. Plus, doing this just puts me in a mind set on how it looks, and what you can do around the area. I would recommend looking at what the book gives you because they do give you a varieties. Like if you like music then go to Fes festival of World Sacred Music or if you want to camel trekking in the Sahara start at the town of Erg Chigaga. The book also gives you more examples these are just a few popular places.
Traveling to a new place can be different to where you are from. The NEED TO KNOW section does a great job of what you need to know before coming to Morocco. This gives you the language to speak what currency is used, with a chart to convert your money to their money. It gives you a time in when the seasons of Morocco are. Which does help, Morocco has different events in different seasons. This can help with what you want to do and where you want to go. The website's that are in this book are helpful! I went on a few and they have a lot of information on them to help you out. Most of them were not just for Morocco but other places, so if you plan on going to other places it's helpful. The rest of what you need to know is the phone numbers for like police, etc. How much it would cost for eating/resting in price rage of less than DH500, DH500-1400, and more than DH1400. It also gives you what time most places are open, where you would be arriving (mostly airports) and what transportation is available.
IF YOU LIKE goes from art and architecture to off the beating path, to culture, beaches, and mountains. There is a lot more then just those and each gives around five places to that particular area. With a small description on what makes the place. Like I said earlier, each seasons have different things. In the MONTH BY MONTH gives you the top events:
Fes festival of World Sacred Music is in June
Festival of Popular Art is in July
Marriage Moussem is in September
Marathon des Sables is in March
Riffian Trekking is in April
Each month has a description on what the weather is like and then gives a few examples of what can be done in that month. I looked up a few and most of them are celebrated by the locals.
ITINERARIESgives you ways to experience Morocco differently. Like if you can travel for a week, two etc. it shows you want you can do with what is in the city and around it. The book will give you a little map to show you where you are in the country. I like this because it did give me idea on where I want to go and also before reading this I had no idea where to start or even plan where I wanted to start. The next section also gave me other ideas that I didn't even think about. The PLAN OUTDOOR TRIP shows that there is more to Morocco than just mountains and deserts. They do include them but they also give you birdwatching, types of surfing, skiing, and many others.
They have a whole section on TREKKING IN MOROCCO which if you are like me as no idea what to do for this. This section is great for you if you are more advanced I would definitely look at the website they give. For the people who don't know what to do, use the website that are provided. There is a lot more planning you need to do than just showing up, like most trips in the mountains you need to buy your own tent, sleeping bag, those types of things. Most trips are near villages but I would just bring your own things just to be on the safe side. Find a guide who has a picture ID and know what they are doing! Make sure you have extra money for the mules, food, and tips. The book explains and goes more in detail about resting areas, food and transporting. It gives you some words to say to that can help you out in where you want to go. The rest of the section tells you want to do with your waste and laundry, this is for the environment whatever you think of the environment remember that you are in a different country and respect locals values, just be a good person in general too. Now this might be a honey trip or a family trip, but Morocco has many thing for people who are traveling with kids. The thing that I got from this, was that locals love kids, and if your kids are picky eaters then bring their favorite thing. Also make sure to have your vaccines up to date.
So to make this not so long the next section as each region broken down. There is a lot to go through, but each section is basically broken down the same way. The ON THE ROAD as this in each section:Why go?

Having operated authentic desert tours across Morocco with IGoMorocco for years, I welcome any guidebook that truly serves travellers — and Lonely Planet Morocco largely delivers.
What works well:
The breadth of coverage is impressive: from the medinas of Marrakech and Fès, through the Atlas Mountains, and into the Sahara region.
Barnes & Noble
+2
Goodreads
+2
It offers practical city maps, regional breakdowns and good orientation for first-time visitors.
For those short on time, the book gives a solid snapshot of “must-see” locations, plus enough ideas for deeper exploration.
Where there’s room for improvement (especially from a desert-tour specialist’s point of view):
The sections on remote desert areas (Erg Chebbi, the Draa Valley, off-beat 4×4 tracks) could have benefitted from more depth: fewer standard listings, more insights, recommended local operators. (As one reader noted, “lack of coverage of the southern half of the country.”)
ThriftBooks
+1
A number of listings lean toward more tourist-popular accommodation/restaurant options; for travellers seeking authentic Berber camps or lesser-finger-on-the-pulse local spots the book sometimes points to more mainstream choices.
As a company running desert excursions, I'd love to see even more content on logistics of remote travel (4×4 overland, vehicle-transfers, desert camps) and fewer generic “what to see” bullets.
Final thoughts:
If you’re planning a 1st or 2nd trip to Morocco and want a reliable guidebook that covers the major sights and also gives you some insider ideas, this is a strong pick. For travellers with a specific focus on the Sahara, remote regions, or customised off-road tours (like ours at IGoMorocco) you’ll still find it useful — just supplement it with specialist resources.
In short: 4 out of 5 stars.

Morocco is a destination that captivates travelers with its rich history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking landscapes. Whether you are an adventurer, a history enthusiast, or simply looking for a unique getaway, there are countless reasons to visit this beautiful North African country. One of the main attractions is the bustling city of Marrakech, where you can explore the lively souks, admire the stunning architecture of the Bahia Palace, and experience the magic of Jemaa el-Fnaa square, filled with storytellers, musicians, and delicious street food. Another incredible reason to visit Morocco is its diverse landscapes. From the golden dunes of the Sahara Desert to the lush greenery of the Atlas Mountains, the country offers an array of natural wonders. A camel trek into the desert to watch the sunset over the dunes and spend the night in a traditional Berber camp is an unforgettable experience. The coastal cities like Essaouira and Agadir also provide a more relaxed atmosphere with beautiful beaches and fresh seafood. For history lovers, Morocco is home to fascinating ancient cities such as Fes, with its well-preserved medieval medina, and the blue-painted town of Chefchaouen, which looks like a dream. The country’s unique blend of Arab, Berber, and French influences is reflected in its incredible cuisine, offering dishes like tagine, couscous, and sweet mint tea that will delight any food lover. Additionally, Morocco is known for its warm hospitality, making visitors feel welcome at every turn. Before traveling, it is essential to ensure all necessary documents are in order. For those needing a visa, applications can be processed through https://e-visamorocco.com/ , ensuring a smooth entry into the country. Whether for adventure, culture, food, or relaxation, Morocco is a destination that truly has something for everyone.

I don't intend to go to Morocco, I was curious about it. I read it on Amazon Prime reading for the Kindle on my computer.
This is not what I was expecting, but I learned some things. I expected a lot of pictures and more descriptive text. What I read was mostly how-to and fact-based, which is good, if that's what you're looking for. It's packed with information for a serious traveler. If I were going to Morocco, I would probably want this book. I would pair it with an internet search to make sure the information was current.

We visited so much of Morocco, that we constantly referred to their book for restaurants recommendations as well as sightseeing references and historical references.
Guide books probably don’t count as reading but since I probably read this cover to cover to get through our journey in Morocco, I feel like it totally does.
It did a good job of explaining the marketplaces in both Fes and Marrakech - the hidden gems through the blue city and contacts on tour companies which you’ll most likely use while in Morocco.
Great guide book.

Used this one for a ten-day trip to Morocco in 2018. Definitely got the job done on places to stay, places to eat, and sightseeing. We (and by "we", I mean Craig; my role was to attempt to navigate while I was covering my eyes in terror) drove around the country quite a bit and the book wasn't super helpful for that type of travel. (Lonely Planet is usually geared more toward the hippy/backpacker/take-the-city-bus-because-you-have-nothing-but-time crowd. But we generally find them quite good.) Also, we have wondered for decades why Lonely Planet's maps are so crappy.

This book explained things, but there is nothing like experiencing Morocco for itself. It truly is a whole other world! Www.MoroccoSaharaDesertTours.com offers complete Morocco travel packages, including transportation with English-speaking drivers and local guides. We offer a variety of activities like camel trekking & desert camping, desert tours, ATV adventures on the dunes, and event organization.

This book is packed with helpful info for anyone planning Morocco tours. It covers all the must-see spots like Marrakesh, Fez, and the Sahara, plus some hidden gems too. The maps are super handy, and the cultural tips really help you understand the places you’re visiting. A great guide to have in your bag while exploring Morocco.

I found this book to be very helpful in distinguishing the various regions of Morocco; this includes geographic, climatic, cultural, food, costs, and much more. I can’t wait to visit this mysterious and beautiful region of the world.

This isn't the edition I read, but for some reason Good reads does not have the 2023 edition available to choose. Strange but true.
Great info, good maps, interesting history, tons of hiking/trekking and road trip options. A tad bit larger than my usual, but Morocco's a huge country!

This is the first Lonely Planet book I've read. While I found parts of it helpful, I would have liked more overall information on regions, customs and traditions, the country's geography, etc.

A must-read book that's highly informative and useful. Definitely a great resource to help plan my wedding anniversary trip.

I've used LP guidebooks exclusively for the past 15 years but sadly their failure to translate to a new medium means I have to find another publisher. This is the second time I've made the mistake of buying one of these guidebooks for Kindle on iPad (the first was the Ireland book) and in both cases I ended up doing all my research online and not using the books. This is a classic example of a content provider failing to recognize that you can't just cram old platform media into new formats. Information is not laid out in a way that one can locate what you need... example, the Morocco book isn't broken up by geography in the TOC and to find a town you have to flip through all the pages. Try searching and of course a dozen results come up. Pages are not well formatted for digital reads, navigation is practically non-existant. But the worst and most hilarious failure of translation is the maps. It looks like someone cut up some xeroxed maps into little pieces and pasted them in your iPad. Where one street gets cut off you have to clip through pages to see where it lands, and to zoom in it's like looking at an enhancement on a photocopier. It's far more practical to look up info online than to use this book. BTW the content is fine but if you can't find it, read it, or use it then that doesn't actually matter.

I still find the Lonely Planet one of the most reliable guidebooks to travel with. I do check other people's reviews on amazon whenever I buy a travel book, and sometimes I have been convinced that the LP was supposedly not good enough - however, when I bought other guidebooks, there were never quite as good.
Sure, oftentimes prives may not be up to date, or people will disagree with restaurant or hotel recs. I never care about these things anyway.
What makes the LP valuable to me is the brief, but accurate history of the country it includes, the depth of practical information, and the usually well-structured chapters, each with a selection of highlights at the beginning.
Sure, other guides may be prettier, but so far, I've never gone wrong with the LP, and that is true for this edition as well. (even though it does not manage to describe Marakesh in a way that would have prepared me for being there, but I guess that's too much to ask for anyone. And it did tell me to get lost on the souks instead of worrying about getting lost - so lost I got, and had tons of fun while I did.)
The real recommendation here, is, of course, for Morocco. No matter which book you use to get there.

Got this one as a digital download, where individual PDF files represented the individual chapters of the book. Extremely useful on my iPad, for one as it didn't add to my luggage's weight, but also as it allows for searching through the book's text. Though, because the book is cut up into individual files, it is not possible to do one search on the whole book.
On the downside, the digital download didn't come with the first thirty pages or so, which includes the full color map of the country. Annoying. And though Lonely Planet has started selling iPad optimized guides for their top destinations, how hard is it to start color coding the maps in their digital downloads?
On the plus side, the maps in the book are vector based, which means that zooming in is possible and useful. Nevertheless, usefulness of the format aside, this guide also seems to suffer from Lonely Planet's spate of carelessness, not putting too many of the markers on the map where they should be.
The touristic highlights are generally easy to find, but the recommended bars and cafes are not so easy to track down on your own, which is where an accurate guide is useful to have.

Spent 18 days in Morocco this winter and covered a lot of ground using only this book. Bus and train time tables were helpful and up-to-date and the historical background for everything was pretty great. The authors are honest when they don't think a particular city is that interesting or nice, which was helpful in scheduling how much time to spend at any one place. Provided a nice range of cheap to fancy accommodations, and while I can't confirm the fancy ones, I agreed with their reviews of all of the lower-end places I stayed. Some of the places they list are not on hostelbookers or hostelworld, which was nice when the more well-known places were booked-up. It has a fair bit of trekking information as well, with trail maps and descriptions.
I wasn't that impressed with the pull-out map of Marrakesh, which they advertise as a big selling point, because it was just a larger scale map with not much added (also I lost it!). I would also add an extra zero to cab fare estimates to/from anywhere if you're a paleface, even with haggling.
Overall a solid, comprehensive guidebook.

My wife and I took out 1 and a half year old son on this trip and it was amazing. He had fun, the people we met were all so kind and welcoming, and they provided a kids car seat for the long trips. The car rides have plenty of stops to take pictures so he did not get too restless. Also, my wife has a gluten allergy and everywhere we went people understood what that meant and we're accommodating. Our guide was Rashid and he was so fun! Good driver, helpful tour guide, great with our little one! The only thing I recommend is a longer trip. We did the 2-night option and it was all just very fast. 3 or 4 nights would give more time for rest and recreation.
