"SmartGuide Marrakech" is a small encyclopedia of local knowledge, with a comprehensive A-Z section full of snappy, easy-to-find listings listings selected by a local writer. The pocket-sized guide condenses the city's neighbourhoods into an easy-reference format, giving you instant access to all the key sights and attractions. After a concise run-down of Marrakech's top attractions, the Area section reveals the city's most interesting neighbourhoods, from the Jemaa el Fna square, the heart of Marrakech, and different areas of the medina, to the French-built garden suburbs of Gueliz and Hivernage, and out into the surrounding countryside. In addition to the detailed Atlas section, every Area features its own map. The A-Z section features over 400 listings organised by everything from architecture to walks, drives and views, so you can pick and choose what to see and do, whether that's exploring Moorish gardens, visiting kasbahs and palaces, clubbing into the small hours, relaxing in a hammam or bartering in the souks. In addition, "Insight Guides'" trademark historical and cultural focus is evident in the chapters on Berber culture, film, literature, religion and music, dance and theatre. Sections on hotels, essential information and transport help visitors make the most of their trip.
