The entries in this guide are special in many different ways: we choose places for the warmth of their welcome, their style – whether grand or not – and look for good value for money and a real choice of places to stay. Morocco is so vibrantly different that it needs inside knowledge for outsiders to find its heart without being tipped too far from their comfort zones. This book enables readers to make contact with this culture's ancient tradition of hospitality and connect through their senses to Morocco's living aesthetic heritage.
Inside this guide you'll find a great variety of places, from Kasbahs on the edge of the desert and little inns lost in the wilderness, to sumptuous private palaces, dripping with stucco and crowned with carved and painted cedar.
“Sawday’s books never fail to fascinate but his Morocco has to be the ultimate dream maker. Exquisite riads in Marrakech for the sybaritic, mountain retreats and the Kasbah route for the adventurous.”
Choice Magazine
