Morocco by Lonely Planet PublicationsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Disclosure:
This is a Touristic Manual or Guide as its been called, It contains the main touristic components of the Moroccan life so it's something very crucial to have, I bought it when I was in my Tour in Morocco.
Overview:
I didn't put a plot for this because it does not contains any story to tell, It is just a touristic manual divided into five parts, It explores Morocco from the North Region and the Atlantic region, the South and the East, Each part is containing a certain form of Tourism, like environmental tourism in the East, Adventurous Tourism in the South of Sahara and the climbing of the Atlas high mountains in the center region, In fact the Book took Morocco as a geographic part which connects African culture with Arabic culture, in fact the whole country is a mixture of Cultures so there no wonder if the tourist come across something mixed.
Positive and Negative Aspects:
Reading this book in a manner of "Tourist" is something weird. In fact the local population will take the burden and make you in no need for this book, You will find a plenty of Tourist Guides ready to speak for your part and help you in every situation, besides Foreigners became the center of attention for the Moroccan government, so there is no fear to be robbed or assaulted because the Police patrol are doing their job efficiently especially in the big touristic cities like Marrakesh and Agadir. But concerning the main aspects of the book, I would say that this written guide contains some phrases that can be used as keys to express the one's needs in a certain situation, besides it contains all the prices of everything that could be bought during the Journey from one place to the other including: the Bus ticket price, and the price of meals that the visitor may encounter. Moreover this book contains even the addresses of the most precious hotels and their phone number, classifications, and all the services provided. I 'd rather assume that this book is updated from year to year due to the positive changes that undergo this country.
My Personal Reaction:
Personally I would say that having this book is something very crucial, I really enjoy the information inside it, and I am ready to give it to anyone who needs it. All the information are doubtless. Besides this guide would help the tourist to overcome all the communicational obstacles with the local population through the phrases used inside it. Finally I may recommend people to come in touch with the local population and not to rely to the book completely, by doing so the Tourist would become familiar with that country's aspects and culture.
Recommendations:
This book is recommended to all the people who are planing to make a trip to Morocco, in order to discover the cultural and the natural side. The book is so fruitful, and is available in English and French in addition to some versions of Spanish and Portuguese.
