The Best Books about Morocco for Your Collection

Whether you want to try your hand at some Moroccan recipes, grab the best Morocco travel guide book to start planning your trip or read some of the best books about Moroccan history, I have compiled a list of books that are just perfect.

The list includes some novels with some great books set in Morocco for both adults and children, as well as some Arabic for beginners book options so you can speak the lingo when you’re next in Morocco.

I like this guidebook because of the way it is laid out as well as the information contained inside. If you’re looking for a good deep dive into Morocco and want something that goes a little further this is it.
