Hey r/Morocco!

So my friend and I are going to be travelling together in January from the 16-24 and we want people who have travelled Morocco's opinion, mostly in regards to an ideal route.

The cities and towns we've come to a consensus on are: Marrakech, Chefchaou, Fez, Essaouira, and the Sahara Desert (in some capacity) and we're looking for the optimal route to take.

Some details:

-We arrive in Marrakech super early, like 6 AM so we can start travelling right off the bat

-We're flying out of Marrakech as well so ideally we'd save the city for last before we leave

-We're up for staying in any towns/cities or major tourists destinations that are close if it makes it easier to make it to any of the cities

-If you have any recommendations or things you really enjoyed anywhere let me know, because we don't really have a game plan so be open to any and all recommendations!

Thanks a lot in advance, appreciate any and all feedback!
