Shukran to all my Fassi ‘family’ – you know who you are. Thanks also to Jack, Ina and Youness
in Figuig, and Cynthia Berning in Midelt.
Helen Ranger
Thanks to the LP team, James and my fellow authors. In Casablanca, Mustapha Bouamara
was of enormous help, and Tahir Shah was a delight. In Essaouira, shukran bizeff to Latifa
Boumazzhour, and Kirsty McArdle for her insider’s view. To Ricky in Assilah, thanks for the
fabulous terrace. Gerald Loftus in Tangier was inspiring. In Chefchaouen, John Wilkinson is
superbly knowledgeable, and spiritedly added Campari to the gin. Riffians Abdesalam Moudden
and Mostapha el-Habti have wonderful trekking expertise. Amine Adrissi proved a friendly and
capable driver. And special thanks to Ibn Warraq, whose turban is still to be unwound.
