Morocco

Only 14km from Europe and bounded by both the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, Morocco is the ideal gateway to both the African continent and the Arab world. This diverse country has something to suit all tastes - rugged mountains, the emptiness and great beauty of the Sahara, and 3800km of coastline with uncluttered sandy beaches and cedar forests. This travel guide should help readers to feel at home in the great medinas of the historic cities. It provides coverage of the main centres, and includes hotel and restaurant listings, and travel advice featuring recommended routes. Background information includes traditional crafts, shopping in souks, food and drink, and sports.
