The Berkeley Guides: Berkeley Guide to Europe: Morocco By Matthew Reid Moroccans love to go on and on about their hospitality--especially their practice of taking visitors under their wings, feeding them couscous, and becoming lifelong friends. And a lucky few visitors do come away completely seduced--some by the people, some by Morocco's half-modern, half-medieval society, and some simply by the landscape. But an unfortunately large contingent--particularly budget travelers eager, but too paranoid, to mix with the crowd on the street--are so plagued by hustlers that they cut their visits short and rate the trip a net loss.
