which compact system would be best for me?

Right now, my primary camera is a D500 with the typical lenses for such camera.  I am going on a trip to Morocco, and will bring the camera with several lenses, as the purpose of the trip is photography.

With that said, a compact camera would be useful so if I want to go light, or if I am on a camel or whatever, I can get good photos without being weighed down.  But, I am at a loss with what to get.  I noticed there are several good cameras on sale, either new or used, such as:

1. a used Fuji X100S or X100T

2. a Sony RX100, probably used mark III

3. XE-2s with 14 f/2.8 for $999

4. X-T1 body only for $600 (which of course would require another lens)

compared to the X100 series, how big is the XE and XT models?  Is there a general suggestion with what you think I should do?  I really like the pants pocketability of the RX100, but if the XT or XE2 can fit inside a jacket pocket, I think that could work for me as well.

Also, how outdated is the XE2s and XT-1 now?  thanks.
