I like the top 10 books and tend to get them for any place I visit. This provides the right level of information in a way that I can relate to.

By no means a bad guidebook but maybe needs more "warts and all" coverage....

Pretty good but would have liked to have seen some info regarding the requirement to avoid motorbike riders on pavements around the city AND in the confined spaces of the medina/market itself.


I'd add that there are plenty of locals looking to part a newly-arrived tourist from his or her euros, dollars or whatever] for example by way of unofficial tours of the tannery area of the medina (with a request for significant donations after the event) and then leading one to smart leather shops ostensibly selling premium local goods that you'll soon find available for a quarter of the price in the general market and many of which, disappointingly, appear to have been bought in from elsewhere ☹

Brilliant little nearly pocket size guide book. All the main attractions shown and some interesting options. I'd say it'll be perfect for short city break. And I love there's a map you hold on to instead of your phone. Such a lovely old fashion way.

Recon for next trip. These are good for a general overview for exploring

I have read a few travel guides lately, and this one was by far my favorite one. I love the book's concept, with a bunch of lists (top 10). Very helpful tips. Filled with good adresses and suggestions on places to visit. I borrowed this book at the public library but I want to buy one copy...
