Customer Rating:      Summary: Almost identical Comment: This is a good guide but is almost identical to Culture Shock! Morocco: A Survival Guide to Customs and Etiquette by Orin Hargraves (Author)
So if looking for a book either of these two will do, no need to purchase both.
Customer Rating:      Summary: waste of money Comment: Thinking I should know a little about the customs of a country I plan to visit, I bought this book based on a review, which highly touted it. If you're looking for useful insights, you won't find any here. This book is one of the most superficial guides I have ever come across. The information contained in it is general and generic and nothing more than can be gleaned from travel brochures.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Perfect book for the short-stay tourist Comment: I spent all sorts of money searching for this book (I bought 7 books in all); then found this little book, which is perfect for the tourist who wants to learn enough history, culture, geography, and language to travel well in Morocco. After reading it, cover to cover, I bought three more copies for others going to Morocco.
