Is 2 days enough for Marrakech?

Two days lets you explore the city on day one and take an Atlas Mountains day trip on day two. For the desert as well, add a third day or an Agafay evening.

What should I not miss in 2 days in Marrakech?

The Medina souks and Jemaa el-Fnaa, the Bahia Palace and Majorelle Garden, an Atlas Mountains trip and an Agafay desert dinner.

Atlas Mountains or the desert for a day trip?

The Atlas (Ourika Valley) is closer and greener; the Agafay Desert is an easy evening; the real Sahara needs a multi-day trip. For two days, the Atlas fits best.
