Morocco Tours

Although it is known for its warmth, the weather in Morocco varies significantly from one region to another. Many tourists consider the autumn and spring seasons the best times to enjoy their visit to Morocco, as temperatures are moderate. In cities like Marrakech, for instance, temperatures in spring and autumn are ideal for exploring tourist attractions such as Jemaa el-Fnaa, the Koutoubia Mosque, Majorelle Garden, and the palaces, with daytime temperatures ranging between 25 °C to 35 °C (77 °F to 95 °F) and nighttime temperatures ranging between 15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F). The pleasant weather, along with fewer tourists, a more relaxed local atmosphere, seasonal festivals, and delicious culinary offerings, make these seasons particularly appealing for visiting Morocco.

During the hotter summer months, activities like visiting the beach, enjoying rooftop terraces, exploring night markets, and attending outdoor concerts become especially popular. In winter, although the weather turns cooler and can be wetter in coastal areas (with snow in the Atlas Mountains), there’s still plenty to do. You’ll encounter beautiful winter landscapes, cozy riads, steamy hammams, and souks, ensuring a memorable experience regardless of the season.
