She's very annoyed that they now allow motorcycles into the medina, which understandably wrecks the charm of it. We're still planning to do 2 days in Marrakech because my boyfriend hasn't seen it before.

Or if you're set on a 50-50 split, consider doing some day trips outside Marrakech.
I absolutely love Roman ruins so your suggestion is a great idea!!! Now I need to figure out how to get from Fes to Volubilis, Meknes without being ripped off by taxi drivers. Also trying to figure out what day trips to do in Marrakech. Do you have any other suggestions?

Btw, I've never flown Iberia and was completely floored when they wanted to charge me $3xx for seat assignments (3pp)! I will have to do without and take my chances when I get to the airport.
