Histoire

The start in Marrakech is framed by Marrakech's gardens. Khenifra holds the middle around Middle Atlas town on the Oum Er-Rbia, before Fes closes on Fes's funduqs.

Marrakech holds day 1 ahead of Imilchil around High Atlas horizon; Imilchil holds day 7 ahead of Marrakech around altitude shaping access; before Marrakech, day 9 separates Middle Atlas town on the Oum Er-Rbia in Khenifra. Azrou holds day 11 ahead of Marrakech around Middle Atlas market town near cedar country; on day 12 before Marrakech, Fes holds Fes's funduqs.

Khenifra acts as the hinge through Middle Atlas town on the Oum Er-Rbia; from Marrakech after Marrakech's gardens, the itinerary crosses Marrakech-Safi, Béni Mellal-Khénifra, and Fès-Meknès using walking sections and road-network stages, while keeping recovery beside the active days.

Keep path conditions at Khenifra, suitable equipment, and recovery and road access between Fes and Khenifra plus live network timing current between Marrakech and Ouzoud; retest conditions between Khenifra and Fes.
