5 days in Marrakech, slow and curious

5 days2 travelersest. ~12,000 MAD ($1,200)
Marrakech → Atlas Foothills

A trip designed around a quieter Marrakech — the medina before the crowds, the gardens at the right hour, food in places only locals queue for. One day in the Atlas to remember the city has mountains around it.
