The best time to visit Morocco

Spring

(Mid-March to May) it is absolutely the best time to visit Morocco, as temperatures rise, although not too high. March is the perfect month for outdoor activities, like quad biking, hiking, walking, and sometimes even swimming, as temperatures can rise to 25°C (76°F).

Autumn

(September to October) this is the best month to visit Morocco, as it is much less busy but the temperatures are still fantastic. During this time, the highest temperatures rise is 33°C (91°F), so you can enjoy many different activities without worrying about the weather, it is warm but pleasant, unlike the cold temperatures and snow of winter, or the scorching heat of summer.

The coastal regions

Can be visited year-round. In the winter they are pleasantly mild, while in the summer they bask in temperatures hovering around the mid-20Cs.

The High Atlas Mountains

Can also be visited all year round, although it does get cold in winter. The summer may still be a bit hot to embark on any long-distance hikes, but if the heat doesn’t bother you then conditions are fine any time between April and October. Outside these months, there is snow on the peaks, which makes hiking more dangerous, but creates some spectacular panoramas.

The Islamic Ramadan

Will affect transport in Morocco. The dates vary each year, so it’s worth checking what they are while planning your trip.

A particularly delicious one contains a bread dumpling.
