Maybe I can be late, but here my two cents.
Marocco is an amazing country to visit: from sea, to historical cities, to desert and mountains where you could even sky during winter time.
I have been inloved wit it, even if chaotic and difficult to understand.
In the big (touristic) cities the religion is not so pressing: you can see burkas and miniskirts.
Just use your brain (as everywhere in the world) to understand where it is the case to cover yourself.
The farmer you go to these places, the stricter is the religious feeling, as everywhere in the world.
Marrakech and Fes are quite far each other: around 7/8 hours by train, car or bus, so I would avoid to move from south to north if you do not plan a round trip of at least 15 days.
Chefchaouen Is worth the trip, but it is even more distant: take one day go/shoot/back from Meknes.
Rabat is 5 hours from Marrakech.
If you want to have a unique experience, take your time and stay, as I said, for two weeks or more: it is a “slow” country, filled with friendly people.
Do the round trip: Marrakech, Casablanca, Rabat (the Medina worth), Meknes, Chefchaouen, Fes, pass the Atlas and do some hiking (Sherpa available),Thingir, Ouarzazate, sleep in the desert, Agadir, Essaouira and back to Marrakech.
More or less this would be my next visit to Marocco: you can expand to the desert, to Tangier and Gibilter, do more hiking.
Consider 4 hours every time you move from one place to another.
Train is a good way to travel, up to where it is possible: clean and safe: car is a step below.
Bus/taxis can be a little bit crowded for our standards, but generally they are save and a source of interesting discoveries.
Food is good, just avoid if possible to drink plain water: we are not used and we can get sick.
Riads are perfect to stay, you will miss them when you’ll be back!
Taxis are a great way to visit the city and the neighborhood.
Another good way is to hire someone with a good car that can arrange the trip and drive you through all the trip.
In case you want to do it and you do not find a valid solution, ping me:I can give you a contact.
