Het verhaal

Read the itinerary through High Atlas horizon in Marrakech, nearby limestone span at Imi n'Ifri in Demnate, and red-city hinge in Marrakech.

Before Moulay Brahim, Marrakech takes its day 1 focus from food stalls; before Marrakech, day 3 separates terraced slopes in Moulay Brahim; by day 4 toward Marrakech, Demnate brings in nearby limestone span at Imi n'Ifri. Day 6 before Marrakech keeps Oukaimeden focused on road conditions; day 10 gives Marrakech, before Moulay Brahim, room for red-city hinge.

The territorial reading begins with High Atlas horizon in Marrakech, turns on nearby limestone span at Imi n'Ifri in Demnate, and covers Marrakech-Safi and Béni Mellal-Khénifra through station-to-station travel and lower-friction road transfers without crowding out clear rests around the main anchors.

At Marrakech, confirm dated departures between Marrakech and Demnate and seat availability and road access between Demnate and Marrakech plus live network timing before moving toward Ourika; retest conditions between Demnate and Marrakech.
