Good reads
 

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good read where Morocco is the setting. Hoping to add to my understanding of the history/culture

A start, authors:

Paul Bowles
Driss ben Hamed Charhadi (Larbi Layachi)
Mohammed Mrabet
Elias Canetti
Edith Wharton (In Morocco)
R.B. Cunninghame Graham
Walter M. Weiss

Also Peter Mayne, 'A Year in Marrakesh'.

I enjoyed both of these:

Cinnamon city by Miranda Innes

Clarke, Suzanna - A House in Fez

Sallam 'lekum lyntay,

In addition to the knowledgeable responses provided already:

Insightful travelogues
THE VOICES OF MARRAKESH by Elias Canetti
MARRAKESH by Rogerson & Lavington

Easy reading travelogues
THE CALIPH'S HOUSE and IN ARABIAN NIGHTS by Tahir Shah

Historical narratives
LORDS OF THE ATLAS by Gavin Maxwell
PIRATES OF BARBARY by Adrian Tinniswood
