Morocco Beyond Marrakech: The Country That Begins When You Leave the Medina

Marrakech is the gateway. Those who stay only in the medina leave thinking they know Morocco. They don't. The real country begins when you take the P2017 towards the Atlas, or the coastal road to Essaouira, or the 200 km of desert to Aït-Ben-Haddou. In three hours by car, you cross three different Moroccos: the Berber mountains, the Portuguese Atlantic, the sub-Saharan clay kasbahs. This guide is for those with five days in Marrakech who want to spend at least two outside the city. It shows when it's worth it, when it's not, who to go with, where to stay overnight, how much it costs, and the costly mistake 80% of tourists make: booking a €25 package at Jemaa el-Fnaa square.
