Visited the whole country from north to south, east to west: […] Kasbah, Medina, Souq and so on.

...What exactly do you mean?
a kasbah is a building (fortress); a souk (not souq) is a marketplace; and a medina is the old part of a town -
unless, off course, you mean the city Medina; which is located in Saudi-Arabia.

Exactly these things. And yeah, I know that in Morocco (French) it's Souk, but if you look it it up in English, it's Souq.

Still don’t know where ( > what cities) you’ve been, though...?!

And why you chose to list rather generic urban terms as ‘places’ you’ve been to

(Puzzled by ‘Oasis’ as well, btw...)

It means of course not Liam Gallagher's Band but an isolated area of vegetation (in the Upper Draa River Valley in Morocco).

Been to the Atlas region myself; been in Marrakech obviously, in Fez, Meknez, Moulah Idris, and went skiing in Morocco once - in Ifrane...
Which part of the vast Atlas Region have you been to: The Middle Atlas, The High Atlas and/or The Anti-Atlas?
You mean the town of Moulay Idriss?
Looking forward to do the full (west) coastline north to south, one day - that would be an almost ‘intercontinental’ trip in itself.
You mean a trip from Tangier down to Guerguerat? Why in the world should such a trip along a part of the northwestern coastline of Africa be intercontinental?

You mean the town of Moulay Idriss? Exactly - sorry, it's been a whil since I typed that name...

You mean a trip from Tangier down to Guerguerat? Yes, why not? Over even very-very south, to la Gouèra... Why in the world should such a trip along a part of the northwestern coastline of Africa be intercontinental? Because the country, a people, change - from the 'Andalucian' (some call it: 'European ') north, to the deep, more 'African ' south; just above Mauritania, same latitude as Mali, Niger. Thàt's why. (btw: I did say 'almost ', didn't I?) And whether it turns out to be as much of a trip as I'm imagining it to be, right now: well, I 'lll have to take that trip first, don't I... But almost all Moroccans that I know, that took the effort of travelling their own country, confirm my thoughts & fantasies about such a road trip. (More exactly: it's them, their stories, that made me start wondering about it.)
