15 days in Morocco

We are a group of 4 in our late twenties planning a visit to Morocco. We are looking for a good combination of nature, attractive cities and ancient sites.

I think that transport may be an issue in Morocco, and I am not particularly fond of spending most of my vacation in a bus, but we are willing to spend a couple of busy days visiting two or three places at once. That said, I still dont know if am trying to fit many more places than I should.

This is our plan so far:

Day 1: Arrive to Marrakech

Days 2, 3, and 4: Three full days in Marrakech

Day 5: Transport from Marrakech to Merzouga, passing Ouarzazate and Todra Gorge. Is this feasible in one day?

Days 6 and 7: 2 full days in Merzouga.

Day 8: Transport fromMerzouga to Fes

Days 9 and 10: two full days in Fes

Day 11: Transport to Chefchaouen, visiting Volubilis

Days 12 and 13: Two full days in Chefchaouen

Day 14: Transport from Chefchaouen to Casablanca

Day 15: Flight departs from Casablanca

My plan in order to visit Ouarzazate and Todra Gorge is to hire a private driver to try to fit a rather quick visit to these two places before continuing to Merzouga.

So, do you think we should try to add or remove a plce, or maybe spend a day less or extra at any of these places. Maybe add an extra day to our trip?

Any thoughts are welcome. So excited!

"Day 5: Transport from Marrakech to Merzouga, passing Ouarzazate and Todra Gorge. Is this feasible in one day? "

Yes, it is, but, you will sit on the bus in 12 hours and it cannot be so fun. Better to take it in 2 days so you can visit something, either Ait BenHaddou near Ouarzazate, or Todra Gorge near Tinerhir. Between Ouarzazate and Tinergir it is about 160km so your idea to quick visit these two places can be a little difficult.

You can do so, that from Marrakech you take a bus to Ouarzazate, there hire a private driver, visit Ait BenHaddou, continue still with private driver to Tinerhir and visit Todra Gorge. Then take a bus to Erg Chebbi.

I would suggest you to buy a map and guide book if you not have it already so you can see distances between places etc. so it will be more easy for you to plan.
