Dia 2 · Manhã · 360 min · cartografado - 3Fes

Dia 3 · Manhã · 480 min · cartografado - 4Ifrane
Ifrane on day 4 centres on a cool Middle Atlas town of parks, university life, and seasonal mountain weather, useful as a gentle altitude transition.

Dia 5 · Tarde · 180 min · cartografado - 6Merzouga
Merzouga on day 6 centres on a settlement beside Erg Chebbi where the useful rhythm is sunset, a quiet night, and a dawn that leaves room for the desert beyond a single photo stop.

Dia 7 · Tarde · 300 min · cartografado - 9Ait Ben Haddou
Ait Ben Haddou on day 8 centres on an earthen ksar on the trans-Atlas corridor, best understood through its lanes, defensive form, and relationship with the Ounila valley.

Dia 8 · Tarde · 240 min · cartografado - 10Marrakech

A história
From Casablanca, the itinerary moves beyond Art Deco avenues to give Ifrane its own chapter around seasonal mountain weather, then reaches Essaouira through Gnaoua culture.
Casablanca uses day 1 before Rabat for Art Deco avenues; day 2 gives Rabat, before Casablanca, room for Hassan Tower; Ifrane uses day 4 before Casablanca for seasonal mountain weather. Before Casablanca, day 6 belongs to Merzouga and quiet night; Essaouira holds day 10 ahead of Casablanca around wind-bright medina.
Casablanca, Ifrane, and Essaouira make the span across Casablanca-Settat, Rabat-Salé-Kénitra, Fès-Meknès, Drâa-Tafilalet, and Marrakech-Safi tangible: Art Deco avenues, university life, and wind-bright medina stay distinct through overland road links, with road days broken by real oasis towns.
Before leaving Casablanca for Rabat, confirm road closures at Casablanca and dated network duration; leave room to adjust the move into Essaouira.
