Berlitz Pocket Guide Marrakesh combines informative text with vivid colour photography to uncover a vibrant city with a mix of Berber and Arab charm. It covers everything you need to know about the city's attractions, from the bustling square of Jemma el-Fna with its stalls, snake-charmers and musicians to the Koutoubia Mosque, the maze of souks and the Majorelle Garden. Handy maps on the cover flaps help you navigate, and the book uses colour-coding to differentiate between sections.

To inspire you, the book offers a rundown of the Top 10 Attractions in the city and its surrounding area, followed by an itinerary for a Perfect Day in Marrakesh. The What To Do chapter is a snapshot of ways to spend your time, from shopping for leather goods, jewellery and carpets to enjoying a massage at a traditional hammam and trekking in the Atlas mountains.

The book provides all the essential background information, including a brief history of the city and an Eating Out chapter covering Moroccan cuisine. There are carefully chosen listings of the best hotels and restaurants, and an A-Z of all the practical information you'll need.
