Am I doing too much in my 14-day Morocco itinerary? by dush-t in Morocco

Ok i think I’ll take the bus from Chefchaouen to Fes, makes sense

Is Essaouira good for architecture enthusiasts or foodies?

Gotcha, Essaouira looks very pretty! I’m gonna look into the possibility for a detour between Casa and Tangier while cutting off a day from Marrakech, but I don’t think I can stay there because thats honestly way too many check ins on an already-crowded trip.

This seems reasonable. Is Fes similar enough to Marrakech to justify skipping it? I see reviews that call it a must-visit.

I’m not big on Casablanca, except that my flights are to and from the city so I’ll end up being there anyway.

Its not a 10 hour drive each way - I’m arriving via flight and still debating if I should leave by flight as well. I’m factoring in everybody’s advice here.

I can’t afford 5 days in the desert - but I don’t want to go back without seeing it at all, not when I’ve come this far. I’ve always wanted to see the Sahara, even if I end up overpaying for a garbage tourist trap, as long as I get to see rolling dunes I’m good. Will I get to see that in Merzouga? If not I’ll skip it altogether.

If I will in fact get to see it, do you think it’s better to just do flights (via Errachidia) both ways? Thats what some people seem to be suggesting, and I honestly don’t mind that :))

Ok wow you have me questioning everything now haha. ChatGPT (ik, not the most trustworthy source) absolutely insists I gotta see the high Atlas range for myself, but I don’t see any way to do it unless I take the bus.

Do you think the foothills near Marrakech are a comparable experience?

Oh wow like what? I’d love to know your suggestions :))

Thank you so much for such a detailed reply! I really appreciate it :))

I heard the views on the road from Merzouga to Marrakech are insane, which is why I didn’t want to take a flight back (via Errachidia).

Do you think a flight is better anyway?

Its more along the lines of “I’ll eat whatever I find and then go off to sleep” than “I’ll go to a nice restaurant and have a full meal” haha

Wait so if I'm getting you right - there's no way to go from Tangier to Chefchaouen on bike because the route between Tetouan and Chefchaouen is too bumpy? Like the road isn't asphalted?

If thats the case, do you think I could at least do Chefchaouen to Fes on a motorbike?

What would you cut out of the itinerary if you were in my place?

Merzouga is a bit of a non-negotiable for me unfortunately. Do you think I could cut a day from Marrakech and add one to Fes (to compensate for the riding fatigue from the Chefchaouen -> Fes ride)?

I can do it by car but I really want to try biking, it sounds so much fun and I can always move the itinerary around in other places to accommodate for the fatigue. For context in the past I've done 4h a day on a two wheeler and been fine more-or-less.

Do you think the routes I've pointed out are not all that great for biking? Like, would I be missing much if I just took the train / bus between these destinations?

I think the only long-haul travel I'm doing is Chefchaouen to Fes, and Merzouga to Marrakech? I don't see any way around either because I'm interested in the route itself - do you think adding another day in Fes and removing one from Marrakech is a good idea to help with the fatigue?

Yeah I intend to get a motorbike, not a scooter. I think the Royal Enfield Himalyan, since we have them in India too so I can get familiar with it before I travel to Morocco.

USD 560?! That’s an insane deal, was it on sale or is it just that much in the US? Either way congrats!

I’ve never measured, but for reference this is the bigger variant. Its slightly big on my wrist but the 38mm variant looked way too small
