5 days in Morocco

Hi,

we are planning a short trip in november (5d/4n), and are considering a quick visit of Morocco. Coming from Belgium, we can fly into Fez, Marrakech or Agadir (and some other cities). Our first thought was a citytrip to either Marrakech or Fez, but actually, we are not really city-people, and prefer the outdoors and more remote location. So we would spend 1 or 2 night in the city, but would prefer a nice outdoor location for the remaining 3 (or 2) nights. We like to take some walks, and stay in a quite place, with ideally some good views and a nice night sky.

I have been doing some googling, and am thinking a combination of Marrakech and Imli might be good for us, but am not sure the weather is not too cold yet in november.

Do you guys have any other suggestions? Most actual desert tours I looked at seemed to be a lot of driving, and although a night in the desert sounds extremely good (we like night photography and don't have a lot of stars at home), I think we should keep that for when we have more time. We prefer mountains and deserts over sea, and don't need a lot of luxury. We have not booked any flights yet, so are still extremely flexible.

thanks,
An

A "desert tour" means a long way to go there and it's not realistic in less than four days.
It's better to choose the South part of the country. You have many places to go and not only the "desert trip".
Fes is a beautiful place but November is maybe not the best month of the year to go there.
I will choose Marakech as hub and place to arrive and leave by plane.

Ok, thanks, Marrakech it is :-)

Do you think the weather in Imlil will be OK by the end of November?

Thanks!

Regarding Imlil in November I have no idea about the weather because I've never been there (and in Morocco) in November but you will check when you will be there.
If the weather is not good enough, you will choose another place for a day trip.

I don't believe that Marrakech is the right place for you
1st it's kind a big city
2nd too expensive
For me I think the north is the best place for you Like you can go to Tetouan, Martil, Medye9
Or you can go ahead to the mountains and visit Ifrane, Yeah I know its kind a cold city but it's the most quite and clean city here in Morocco
