I want to know when is the latest we can arrive on Day 1. We are looking at a flight that lands around 12:20pm. Is that too late?

The time is not too late but we have to change the itinerary from Tanger to Fez. There will be one night in Chefchaouen and one night in Fez instead of 2 nights in Fez. The itinerary will be like that: Day01: Tangier - Chefchaouen, Day02: Chefchaouen- Fez (Fez guided Tours afternoon), Day03: Fez - Sahara Desert Merzouga, Day04: Merzouga - Dades Valley, Day05: Dades Valley - Marrakech. The time you have mentioned is not too late if you want to travel soon.
