Don't be lured into photographing the animal handlers in the Jema el Fnaa square in Marrakech. The monkeys are poached from their families and the snakes are brutally defanged. Better to photograph (and pay) the musicians. Notice the sudden quiet when the call to prayers sounds at sunset; first one, then another, then another.

I get that your intent is to take 3 cameras to cover the range without having to change lenses in a dusty environment. Let me suggest that instead you take one body and rent a wide range zoom and save your self a lot of pain? Lots of weight and carrying all 3, even on a harness, would be more like work than pleasure, and switching constantly between bodies invites mistakes and missed shots.

One camera is enough for me, but a back-up "just in case..."
When I was in 4th grade, my teacher showed us her slides from her trip across the country. They were all from a Brownie on Kodachrome, and I still remember how beautiful they were, 50 years later. They never cut off anybody's feet in the pictures. Carlsbad Caverns just showed the outside. I think flash would have tormented the bats.

Hi, the sun is very bright so consider one or two ND filters. Travelling out in the desert, consider a graduated ND filter to capture the sand scapes. At the water front, a polarizing filter will cut down on water glare, but you need to be at least 90 degrees from the sun. I recommend you practice with these filters in advance.
I shoot film and this works for me.
Finally, a wide angle prime for the markets is a good idea and a fast f/1.4 prime, 35 or 50 mm will work well for night photos. You can get some great shots in the markets. A guide is a very good idea! The Atlas mountians are also very niice.

I agree with the one camera suggestion. Be sure you know how yo use it beggore you go. I used a Nikon F2-AS with a 35mm f/1.4 the last time I was there about 5 years ago. I might add that many of my travels I used the same camera and lens. Your guide will be helpful in getting some pictures in the markets and help you with security. Having one camera allows you to take a few filters. It can be very hot, so it is not good to be weighted down. Wear a hat with a brim.

Two weeks is a short notice.
Cut back on the travel weight. As Trix suggested, take ONE body and RENT A zoom lens - it is quite dusty-.
In Theocracies, there are two rules, the civilian and the Theocratic, follow them both, specially when they prohibit photos.
Thieves: they are abundant everywhere, remember where there is poverty there is crime.
Don't forget to look, the sights will take your breath away.
Have a nice trip.

Also, you might check if any vaccinations are required. When I went there, albeit in 1972, a cholera shot was required.

In about two weeks time you will have the answers. Kinda late now for those concerns.
You kind of sound like a jerk. Why say anything, if it doesn't help?
