Five days gives you a solid introduction to northern Morocco. You see four historic cities, a Roman site, and a full day in the Fes medina. You do not see Marrakech, the Atlas Mountains, or the Sahara.
Distance explains the gap. Casablanca to Marrakech takes about three hours by road. Casablanca to the Sahara dunes at Merzouga takes well over ten hours each way. That drive would eat most of a five-day trip.
