Wharton spent three weeks traveling across what she called "a land of perpetual contradictions." Visiting Morocco, said Wharton, was "like turning the pages of some illuminated Persian manuscript all embroidered with bright shapes and subtle lines." Her encounter with exotic Morocco resulted in the publication of In Morocco in 1920. Wharton considered her book to be Morocco's first travel guide.
