This is a little pocket book that I intend to carry with me on my up-coming vacation in Marrakesh. It divides the city into different neighborhoods, and lists the different attractions, retaurants, shops, etc. in each neighborhood, with very specific descriptions and recommendations. It also has a cool foldout map of the city. I expect this information to be VERY useful.

Marrakesh Encounter was exactly the guide book I needed for my first trip to this fascinating city. This Lonely Planet 'book' has 176 pages and is pocket sized. It is organized, well illustrated, and has a excellent city map. The author, Alison Bing, has included everything from a quick reference page to geographic sections describing the various neighborhoods, each with their own map. This comprehensive guide made me feel at home before I even got there. I was able to book my lodgings, plan my itinerary, and have an appreciation for the cultural differences I would be experiencing. The perfect guide book!Marrakesh Encounter (Best Of)
