About
Morocco is a country of layers: Amazigh (Berber) roots, Arab and Islamic civilisation, Andalusian refinement, French and Spanish protectorate history, and a fast-modernising economy. These guides explain how those layers fit together. Begin with the overview of Morocco, then dig into history, everyday culture, religion, architecture, cuisine and the economy. They are written for travellers, so each one also tells you what the background means for your trip.
