Fodor's Escape to Morocco, 1st Edition

I adore this book; I have as of yet not been to Morocco but dream of going and I refer to this book often to fuel my daydreams. I do travel fairly often, however, and I know how very useful a travel guide can be. When I plan a set date, I will purchase a "real" travel guide to get me through the country. So while I highly recommend this book for the idle pleasure read, don't buy it thinking that you will get an in-depth look at the country.

I went on vacation in Morocco 3 years ago and this book just makes me want to go back . I thought i saw everything there is to see there but there are just so many beutiful places i havent seen that are in this book i am planning to go back again next summer or spring

It's not a guide book per say as others by Cadogan or Lonely Planet. However it is a beautiful book full of gorgeous colorful pictures of Morocco. For those who are interested in travelling to Morocco, I'd recommend that you pick up this book or even look through it at your local bookstore. The pictures are very selective in what they want to show you of Morocco but very alluring!! I'm currently planning a trip to the mystical country and have used this book as a source - where to go and stay. The descriptions are brief but the pictures says it all!!In fact, I think it's safe to say that the pictures is this book are so beautful that even if you never thought about going to Morocco, the pictures will surely inspire to take that trip someday.Happy reading and travelling!!

If you've ever dreamed of watching the sun set over the Sahara Desert, of visiting an oasis where dates drip off graceful palm trees or climbing up through green valleys to the peaks of snow-covered mountaintops, then "Escape to Morocco" will give you a taste of the possibilities. The poetic text written by author Pamela Windo renders the sensual quality of this mysterious North African country, while the stunning photographs of Simon Russell capture the diversity of the Moroccan landscape. The reader is taken by the hand and guided through one exotic experience after another, through twenty chapters, each one a gem, a world until itself. The titles themselves reveal the scope of the book and of the country: "A Desert Day and Night", "Fez the Mysterious", "Beaches and Sea Bastions", "The Pink Wild West". The book takes us on a journey into Morocco where few people have been. I recommend the book not only for those planning on going to Morocco, but for armchair enthusiasts as well. "Escape to Morocco" strikes a neat balance between art and travel. The text and photographs dazzle us but it is also a genuine travel guide with solid information for the serious traveler.
