For centuries, Morocco's breathtaking landscapes and unique heritage have inspired some of the West's most famous artists, writers and musicians, from Matisse to Bob Marley. Cities such as Tangier and Marrakech also became the hippest places to stay for a weekend or a lifetime, their palaces and villas the scenes of decadent parties and all manner of ex-pat intrigues.

Today, Morocco is once again one of the world's most fashionable destinations, and our History and Culture chapters give you the background story, exploring Morocco's past and present with engaging and accessible essays. We give you an insight into the Moroccan people, the aftermath of the Arab spring, and the role of women. Magazine-style features cover Moroccan arts and crafts, music, architecture, food and outdoor activities.

All major sites are cross-referenced with the full-colour maps, and the travel tips section provides a wealth of information on how to plan your trip and carefully selected hotel and restaurant listings.
