Format:Taschenbuch
Der Lonely Planet zu Marokko ist größtenteils ein weiteres gelungenes Werk aus der LP-Reihe. Wir haben in erster Linie das Kapitel zu Zentralmarokko einschließlich Marrakesch gebraucht. Die Beschreibungen sind meist sehr detailliert und zutreffend. Auch war der Führer bei unserer Reise im März 2009 auch noch sehr aktuell, was etwa Eintrittspreise und Öffnungszeiten anging. Ein Manko ist allerdings der Stadtplan zur Altstadt (Medina) von Marrakesch, da dort, gerade in den Gegenden, die durch sehr verwinkelte Straßen und Gassen geprägt sind, kaum Straßennamen verzeichnet sind, obwohl die Straßen - obgleich sehr eng - druchaus Namen haben. Daher ist der Plan dort kaum zu gebrauchen und man verläuft sich mit ziemlicher Sicherheit oder findet seine Unterkunft nicht, zumal gerade diese Ecken für Touristen sehr interessant sind (z.B. für die Souqs). Wir haben den Stadtplan in erster Linie dort gebraucht, es kann aber sein, dass Entsprechendes auch für andere Städt gilt.
Brauchbar sind auf jeden Fall auch die allgemeinen Reisetipps, obwohl vielleicht noch mehr auf die Abzocke (etwa beim Taxifahren) eingegangen werden sollte. Daher ist das Buch auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Wer einigermaßen englisch sprechen kann, kann auch guten Gewissens zur englischen Version greifen und dabei einige Euro sparen.

Barely updated, limited coverage, and assumes the reader is wealthy
27. Dezember 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
For a recent trip to Morocco, I bought the 2007 edition of Lonely Planet's MOROCCO guide alongside its major competitor, The Rough Guide to Morocco. While Lonely Planet's guide covers the major sights and will be just the thing for casual holiday makers, it unfortunately continues the publisher's trend of abandoning "travel as lifestyle" readers, once Lonely Planet's target demographic.
If you intend on slowly working your way through the whole of Morocco, seeking contact with the locals at all cost, and traveling cheaply, then Lonely Planet guide is not really worth it. LP seems to assume that the reader is rich: it recommends expensive hotels and suggests that one hire guides. It also doesn't push people to meet ordinary Moroccans. Hammams (Turkish-style baths) are a great way to enter into local custom, but instead of listing ones patronized by the locals, LP often lists expensive spa-type locations. Morocco is also a paradise for hitchhiking, where again one is brought directly into contact with people not in the tourist trade, but LP doesn't pitch it.
Comparing the LP to the Rough Guide to Morocco, the Rough Guide comes out on top. Sure, the presence of a few ads in the text, and the fact that the Rough Guide line is published by the faceless corporation Penguin, are annoying. Nonetheless, the Rough Guide caters to all audiences, both the wealthy and shoestring travelers. The Rough Guide also describes Morocco in considerably more detail than the Lonely Planet guide, gives substantial recommendations on music, books, and film from or about Morocco, and even includes a few tales by Moroccan traditional storytellers.
Ahough both publishers have put out 2007 editions, the Rough Guide is more up to date than the Lonely Planet. An increasing number of travelers are heading down through Western Sahara to Mauritania and beyond. This route has gotten easier, with transportation now easy available from Dakhla. But Lonely Planet's coverage of this entire area seems to have changed little since the 2005 guide, and the authors still claim you have to provide your own transportation.
I found really only two points in favour of purchasing the Lonely Planet guide. One is a large section dedicated to trekking, which the Rough Guide lacks (though here it again assumes that the readers are wealthy). The other is that LP's maps are slightly more detailed for some cities than those in the Rough Guide. All in all, if you are a wealthy traveler looking for a relaxing but exotic vacation, you can ignore all that I've written and buy LP's guide with confidence. If you are an independent traveler planning on trekking, get both the LP and the Rough Guide. But the backpacking and hitchhiking crowd can just get the Rough Guide and pass the LP by.

This book does the job well...

Yet again, the Lonely Planet puts together a pretty thorough guidebook that helps in exploring this remarkable destination. My experience showed that some of the info was a bit dated and a comparison with a fellow traveller's 2004 LP revealed that the two editions don't differ all that much. In their defense, things in Morocco tend not to be all that structured or consistent and would be hard to keep on top of. All in all, the book served me quite well. I will write them with the corrections that I noticed and hopefully the guide will continue to improve.

Useful guide with some shortcomings
30. Dezember 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
I used the Lonely Planet Morocco guidebook this past summer in 2007 for about a three week trip. I spoke no French or Arabic so needless to say I was pretty much dependent on the guidebook to give me a basic overview of the cities I visited. I really didn't have a definite itinerary so using the information from the guide I was able to make arrangements on the go. I liked how the chapters were organized and the breakdown of logistical information was really helpful. The maps in the guidebook were pretty basic and sometimes more confusing than helpful.
I truly benefited from my use of the guidebook and without it I don't know what I would have done. However, I did have a few dislikes. First, this book is extremely heavy so I ended up ripping out pages I needed. Second, Lonely Planet devotes a good amount of pages to history and culture, which is interesting yet not always directly useful to the traveler on the road. Also, I found the descriptions of the hotels under the budget heading in Rabat and Ouzoude to be sub-par to their gushing descriptions in LP. And a negative aspect I encountered in Morocco, especially in Fes, was that hoteliers were using their exposure in LP to hawk their hotels. One place I inquired after even raised prices because they were featured in LP. The overbearing and opinioned tone of the guidebook can be off-putting as well. And, I had some of my most memorable experiences when I put aside that LP guidebook.
LP gives a rough sketch of the cities and is a great tool in researching a place ahead of time. And does a great job in serving as a jump-off point for further exploration and adventure.
