Historien

The start in Fes is framed by layered imperial city. Dayet Aoua holds the middle around Middle Atlas lake basin near Ifrane, before Fes closes on steep medina lanes.

Before Bhalil, day 1 belongs to Fes and layered imperial city; Bhalil shapes day 3 ahead of Fes through hillside town beside Sefrou; day 8 reaches Dayet Aoua before Fes for Dayet Aoua's birdlife. Before Fes, Ifrane takes its day 9 focus from university life; Fes holds day 14 ahead of Bhalil around Fes's funduqs.

Fes establishes the regional thread through layered imperial city; trail stages and road travel then carry the itinerary across Fès-Meknès to Middle Atlas lake basin near Ifrane in Dayet Aoua, leaving time for markets without rushing.

Reach Sefrou only after a fresh check of trail conditions at Dayet Aoua, equipment, and daily effort and current carriageway conditions between Dayet Aoua and Fes and road-network timing; repeat the Dayet Aoua check before approaching Fes.
