Sanity check on my Morocco itinerary please?

My husband and I will be flying in to Fez from Barcelona and spending about 2 weeks in Morocco. We know that there's a lot to see in the country, but we wanted to just do a few highlights on this trip. We plan to rent a car before we leave Fez, drive ourselves to the various places, and then turn in the car when we get to Marrakech.

Here is what we came up with. We know that there are a couple of longish drives in this plan and we're OK with that. If anyone experienced with travel in Morocco sees anything concerning about this plan, please speak up! The overall dates of the trip are not changeable.

Fez - Sept. 15 to 20 (5 nights), includes day trip to Volubilis

Drive, overnight in Errachidia - Sept. 20 (1 night)

Drive, then Desert Glamping in Erg Chebbi - Sept. 21 (1 night)

Drive, Stay in Ouarzazate - Sept. 22, 23, 24 (2 nights)

Marrakech - Sept. 24 to 29 (5 nights)

I can’t help with your itinerary as I have not yet been to Morocco, I’m amazed you plan to rent a car. We were so glad to have a driver and guide in Egypt, mostly because we don’t speak Arabic and many of its citizens don’t speak English.

Been to Morocco twice and enjoyed it.
Fes and Marrakesh are great, don't know about the other places.

I wouldn't want to drive in Morocco.

Hi, sounds like an exciting trip. Since your initial base is in Fez, I would highly recommend a day trip to Chefchaouen ( Blue City). It was truly a highlight of the whole trip. Please watch out for speed limits as there was a lot of police there ( we did have a driver and when stopped he dealt with the policeman).
