Morocco Itinerary
Hey guys,
I'm new here! I'm right now in Marrakesh, setting off on Thursday, with my Toyota FJ Cruiser. It is basically stock except for a few modifications that I believe have little use in Morocco. I have no camping equipment, staying only in hotels. The range of this car is atrocious, but it looks like distances in Morocco are pretty short, so this should not be a problem.
I'm looking for easy, scenic drives.
I have bought Chris Scott's book, but the all the routes are like a maze. IMO, some sample itineraries depending on difficulty + days would go a really long way. So I'm trying to put together some kind of a reasonable itinerary.
Day 1: Marrakesh - Tizi n Test - Taroudant
Day X: Possibly take a day off in Taroudant
Day 2: Taroudant - Igherm - MA14 / MA3 / Tizerkine Gorge - Tafraoute
Day 3: Maybe stay in Tafraoute and rest / do a day trip
Day 4 & 5: 2 days to drive Tafraoute - Erg Chegaga in the most interesting way, stay in desert camp
Day 6: Erg Chegaga - Nkob - Ikniouen - Dades
Day 7: Climb out of Dades either via Dades gorge or via MH19 + MH18, don't know where to spend the night.
Day 8: Drive to Fes
How reasonable is any of this? Do I need to add more days, and if so where? I have absolutely no idea how accurate Google Maps driving times are in Morocco. I would like to drive out to Erg Chebbi, but I crossed it off the list in favor of more time in mountains.
Overall, is this a good itinerary? Would you add other detours, or maybe even simply go somewhere else? Looking at pictures, I think I'm quite interested in the Anti-Atlas and the deserts / valleys / gorges there, but I obviously haven't been in any of these places so I have no idea.
