La storia

Marrakech, Oukaimeden, and Marrakech are not interchangeable: Marrakech's gardens, high Atlas plateau, and palace quarters make the chapters distinct.

Day 1 reaches Marrakech before Imlil for red-city hinge; day 2 before Marrakech keeps Imlil focused on mountain village base for mule paths; on day 6 before Marrakech, Oukaimeden holds high Atlas plateau. Day 7 before Marrakech keeps Setti Fatma focused on trailhead for steep waterfall paths; day 9 gives Marrakech, before Imlil, room for Marrakech's gardens.

The change of register comes through Oukaimeden's altitude in Oukaimeden after red-city hinge in Marrakech; across Marrakech-Safi, the travel sequence uses trail stages and road travel, and the cadence leaves daylight around the trail.

Use a fresh reading of path conditions between Marrakech and Oukaimeden, suitable equipment, and recovery and road closures between Oukaimeden and Marrakech and dated network duration to shape departure from Marrakech; carry the Oukaimeden check into Marrakech.
