Morocco - Marrrakesh & Central Morocco (Chapter)

This is the Marrakesh & Central Morocco chapter from Lonely Planet’s Morocco guidebook.

Maps can’t do central Morocco justice, as even the best satellite technology can’t capture the meanderings of covered souqs in the legendary Djemaa el-Fna. Central Morocco is the place to put down the map, get lost, and live a little.
