An editorial route through Fes → Fes → Rabat → Marrakech → Marrakech → Marrakech → Essaouira → Departure. The journey works best when read as a sequence of landscapes, cultures and changing rhythms rather than a checklist of stops.
Separate essential stops from optional detours. Leave room for markets, pauses, encounters and changes of pace. For every overnight move, verify actual distances and transport schedules before booking.
