Morocco's cities each work differently: Marrakech is built around its medina and the square at its heart, Casablanca is the commercial center with the country's largest mosque on the waterfront, and Fes holds the oldest and most intricate old town. The Atlas mountains and the desert beyond are separate trips requiring their own time.
The guides collected here cover Marrakech, Casablanca and Morocco overall. Inland summer heat is severe, which makes spring and autumn the practical seasons; the coast stays milder. Medinas are genuinely disorienting by design, and unofficial guides are common around their entrances. Dress expectations are more conservative than in most Mediterranean destinations, particularly away from tourist districts.
