When to visit Morocco: the best season for each region
Morocco can be visited all year round, but each region has its best season. Here is our advice, based on the trips we organise.
Spring (March to May): the ideal season
Mild temperatures everywhere, green countryside and flowers in the Atlas. The best time to combine imperial cities, mountains and desert.
Summer (June to September): the coast and the north
Tangier, Asilah, Al Hoceima, Essaouira and Agadir enjoy the sea breeze. The desert and Marrakech are very hot by day: travel early in the morning and in the evening. For Toubkal, it is the snow-free season.
Autumn (October–November): the second best season
Golden light, gentler heat and dates in the Draa and Tafilalet palm groves: perfect for a tour of the South.
Winter (December to February): sun and snow
Sunny days in Marrakech and the South, cold nights in the desert. Snow on the Atlas and in Ifrane. The southern Atlantic coast (Agadir, Dakhla) stays mild.
In short
Imperial cities: March–May and October–November.Desert: October to April.High Atlas and trekking: May to October.Beaches: June to September (and all year in the South).Not sure? Write to us: we adapt every tour to your dates.
