What this calculation does not include
- Meals and breaks: no time is set aside. The time chosen per day only covers visits and journeys between stops: add your own breaks.
- Return: the journey from the last stop back to the starting point is not counted in the time; it is shown under each day. Each day starts again from the starting point.
- Opening hours and days: the order of the stops does not take opening hours or closing days into account. Published opening hours for Kasbah and Kasbah Museum: read them on each page before you set off. Opening hours not documented: Petit Socco (Souk Dakhli).
- Expenses not calculated: transport (petit taxis, grand taxis), meals, drinks, guides and tips, for lack of verified prices. Only entrance fees with a documented price are added up; an entrance without a verified price is flagged.
- Weather, crowds, queues: not taken into account.
Location diagram without a base map: positions are approximate. The numbers refer to the list.
Our assumptions: visit times estimated by the editorial team; journeys calculated from the straight-line distance plus 30%. On foot: 4.5 km/h, journeys of 4.5 km at most, without the Atlantic coast. By taxi or car: 25 km/h plus 5 minutes' waiting; journeys of 1 km or less are still made on foot. Each day counts at most 7 h ou 3 h depending on the option chosen and starts again from the starting point. Only entrance fees with a documented price are added up; transport, meals and drinks are not counted. Opening hours are not guaranteed: check each place before setting off.
