La storia

The start in Tangier is framed by city of strait light. Essaouira holds the middle around thuya craft, before Agadir closes on rebuilt Atlantic city.

Before Rabat, day 1 belongs to Tangier and city of strait light; day 2 reaches Rabat before Tangier for Bou Regreg waterfront; on day 6 before Tangier, Essaouira holds wind-bright medina. Before Tangier, day 8 belongs to Marrakech and High Atlas horizon; day 9 reaches Agadir before Tangier for rebuilt Atlantic city.

In Tangier, the opening draws on city of strait light; the territorial span crosses Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceïma, Rabat-Salé-Kénitra, Casablanca-Settat, Marrakech-Safi, Fès-Meknès, and Souss-Massa through station-to-station travel and overland road links, giving Essaouira a measured pause around thuya craft and leaving one strong heritage chapter at a time.

The move from Tangier to Rabat depends on live departure times at Tangier and seat supply and dated road conditions between Essaouira and Agadir and network timings; give Agadir the same fresh reading.
