Best Time to Visit Morocco
Some of the best times to visit Morocco are in the spring (March to May) and the autumn (mid-September to November) when temperatures are cooler and sightseeing is more comfortable. In June, temperatures start to really rise, and in September, the beginning of the month may still be hot.
The festive season in December in Morocco is a wonderful time to visit for comfortable day time temperatures and cooler evenings. January and February are the coldest months and can be rainy, however, there are fewer visitors and lower prices making it still a great option. Another consideration is travel over the Islamic observance of Ramadan. The date of this sacred month changes each year so it’s an important factor when choosing when to travel to Morocco. No matter what season you prefer to travel to Morocco, our specialists will be able to talk you through the experience for each time of year and help you choose the travel month that is right for you.

Our Experts Say...
"The most comfortable times to visit Morocco are spring (March - May) and autumn (mid-September - November). In March, spring break is a very popular time as the weather is starting to warm and wildflowers will be blooming. Ramadan takes place in spring and may affect some tourism aspects, so it's best to check dates in advance. Fall is fantastic but very popular, so plan in advance.
While you can explore Morocco in the summer months of June through to the end of August, it can be over 100°F in the main cities, although the evenings are wonderfully balmy. The coastal areas and the Atlas Mountains will be slightly cooler, although it may still be too hot for extended hiking.
The December vacation season is particularly lively in Morocco. Many hotels will have lengthy minimum night requirements and places book out early, so do plan ahead for your festive Moroccan celebration! January and February can be cold and damp, but prices will be low and there will be fewer tourists. "
