Morocco – even the name evokes magic: And on Djemaa el Fna, the square of performers in the heart of Marrakech, with its storytellers, acrobats, and water sellers, in the souks of this and the other ancient imperial cities, on the Street of the Kasbahs with their mud-brick fortresses, the clichés of One Thousand and One Nights seem to come true. But the country is not just an oriental dream; it also invites you to hike in the High, Middle, and Anti-Atlas Mountains or to take camel treks through the desert. And beachgoers are not disappointed either: In picturesque bays on the Mediterranean or on more secluded beaches on the Atlantic coast, you can relax wonderfully, or surf the waves in the south between Essaouira and Agadir.
 The author, who knows the country and its culture like the back of her hand, provides a wealth of useful tips and travel information in the completely re-researched "Stefan Loose Travel Handbook Morocco," spanning over 600 pages. This is ideal for independent travelers who want to venture off the beaten path and delve deeper into everyday Moroccan life. The knowledgeable Islamic scholar offers an introduction to the rich culture and history of this country, full of surprises, whose population is a unique blend of Arabs and Berbers, Europeans and Black Africans.
 To ensure that orientation is not lost during exploration tours, the “Stefan Loose Travel Handbook Morocco” contains almost 70 city maps and country maps and a comprehensive travel atlas.
