Morocco: In the Labyrinth of Dreams and Bazaars

A kaleidoscopic array of influences - Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Berbers, Muslims, Jews and European colonisers - Moroccan society is as culturally rich and diverse as any in Europe or Africa. For decades it served as refuge for artists and writers; today it retains an exotic mystery irresistible for many travellers.

Travelling the breadth of the country, from the Berber villages of the mountains to the metropolitan centre of Casablanca, stopping along the way to explore the medieval centres of Fès and Mèknes, Walter M Weiss brings his knowledge to bear, illuminating the social and geographical distinctions that define this variegated land.
