Morocco Itinerary...please advise.

HI there,

I was thinking of during a 10 day tour of morocco. I was intending on spend 3 days in Marrakesh, 2 days in fes, and a 5 day tour with authentic morocco to go camel riding as well as sleep overnight in the desert.

I was wondering if the amount of time in Marrakesh and Fes would be enough? I understand that by train it takes 7 hours one way which would mean I only really have 1.5 days in Fes.

I am more looking to get a feel of each city and really just a highlights type trip due to the amount of leave I have. I intend on going in April, would that be a good time?

Regards,

John

...... you don't say when you'll be in Morocco or where you arrive and depart. Have you got into a good guide book yet, Q+A's here won't be enough.

Read signature below, you are attracting attention.

No more cities, instead spend the time on day or overnight trips from Fez or Marrakech. Azrou and Ifrane from Fez, Imlil and Ouirgane from Marrakech.

.... on re-reading your post I see April mentioned, a great time to be in Morocco.

It might be an advantage to arrive and depart in different places, to do a longer stretch rather than a circuit. Arriving Marrakesh departing Agadir is worth considering, research this interactive site..... http://looklex.com/morocco/index.htm

Im attracting attention? how so? Im not even sure what that means.

thanks moroccotraveler. I'll read that website you linked me to. I haven't got exact dates yet as I want to make sure I read enough and know exactly what I want to do and how many days i require.

Tentatively though I am looking at 12-22 April 2013. London to Marrakesh. I'm pretty confident that Fes and Marrakesh is all i want to do but if there was something that is def worth a visit then I would consider it.

I just did a similar 10 day trip and it worked out very well! I posted a recap a few weeks ago. Good luck.
