Just coming back from a 10 days trip in Morocco. For me it depends what you're looking for when traveling, eg do you like the adventure, big wild, nature, meeting locals in warm and authentic settings? Or do you like shopping, big touristic resorts, etc?
If you like authenticity, nature, etc, I'd recommand spending most of the time outside of big cities, in the big south (eg everything south of Marrakesh). That's where we had the most pleasure.
I'd recommend 1-1.5 days in Ait Ben Haddou, same in Todra Gorges and do the hike, then 2-3 days around Dadès, hike there and try to find a local who can bring you to sleep in some caves, nomad style.
Then spend as much time as you can in the Sahara, that's the best part. Eg do a 4-6 days trek with some nomads, will be a once in a lifetime experience. We went to El Chegaga through Mhamid, was wonderful but we also heard great things about Merzouga, so why not doing both if you can.
Regarding cities, Fes is great and 2 days is a good duration. For Rabat I was glad to see it for 1 day. Marrakesh not my cup of tea, I'd not stay more than a day. Casablanca no need to stay more than half a day, just visit the mosque and get out of there.
But that's just my opinion based on my own preferences. Anyway in my case if I had to redo it again I'd certainly focus entirely on the south + couple days in Fes, and totally skip Casa/Marrakesh, and spend more time in the desert with nomads.
There's nothing here!
