A winded road leaves Marrakech behind and the landscape opens into sun-dry plains, whitewashed towns and distant Atlas foothills. On this six-day circuit, travelers move at a measured pace—four hours to Rabat, a short drive to Meknès, then on to Fès, before a long return to Marrakech—each stop a different chapter of Morocco’s imperial story.
