When should you travel to Morocco?
Our advice on when to go to Morocco and make the most of your holiday!
Rich in Berber, Arab and European influences, Morocco is a dream destination for a change of scenery. Although it has a Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and hot summers, its great geographical diversity means that the climate varies greatly from one region to another...
What's the best time of year to visit Morocco?
Morocco is a land of wonders: palaces worthy of tales from the Thousand and One Nights, lush gardens, bustling souks with the intoxicating scent of spices, bustling streets and breathtaking beaches - it's a country that charms the senses.
Travellers can take advantage of a wide choice of activities, whether cultural, entertaining or sporting, there's something for everyone. A stay in Morocco will also be an opportunity to discover the delicious local cuisine and relax on a beach or in an authentic hammam.
The weather in Morocco is generally pleasant throughout the year, although the south has a drier climate. Summer, although very sunny, can sometimes be hard to bear, especially when the sirocco blows, a very hot wind that brings with it dust straight from the Sahara desert. To make the most of your stay in Morocco, we recommend you travel in spring and autumn, particularly in April, May and October. This way, you can avoid periods of rain or stifling heat.
Did you know?
You can travel to Morocco during Ramadan (the dates change every year).
For Muslims, this is a sacred period that brings changes to daily life. Tourists are still welcome, and it's an opportunity for genuine cultural and spiritual enrichment, tinged with fraternity and sharing.
Of course, you'll need to be careful to respect local customs to avoid making any mistakes during this period.

When should you visit Marrakech?
Marrakech, the ochre city, is an ancient imperial city with an exceptionally rich cultural and historical heritage. This lively city offers a wealth of architectural wonders to discover, nestling in breathtaking scenery.
The Marrakech palm grove, with its 10,000 trees spread over more than 15,000 hectares, can be explored by quad bike or camel.
And don't miss a visit to the Majorelle botanical garden, with its splendid blue buildings that glow even in winter.
Architecture and history buffs will be delighted by a visit to the Marrakech Museum in the Dar Mnebhi Palace.
And, of course, what would a visit to Marrakech be without a stroll around Jemaa el-Fna square and a diversion through the souks?
The best time to discover Marrakech is in spring, from March to June, but also in autumn, from September to the end of November. You'll enjoy pleasant temperatures of between 23 and 28°C. The weather in Morocco is very mild at all times of the year. So you can spend the winter in the warmth, and why not by the beach?
When to go to Morocco to enjoy the seaside?
Morocco has several must-see seaside towns, such as Essaouira and Agadir.
The ideal time to visit Agadir is from March to November. Here, winter is very mild, and you can take advantage of these temperatures to go for a walk by the sea. The pearl of Morocco will amaze you with its beauty: its beaches are considered to be the most beautiful in the whole of North Africa.
It's the ideal place to indulge in the joys of surfing or relax in the sun. But its beaches are not its only asset: enjoy a haven of peace in an idyllic setting by visiting Paradise Valley, or go on an adventure in the Massa desert. The curious can visit Crocoparc: a splendid exotic garden home to no fewer than 300 Nile crocodiles.
To recover from your emotions, take a shopping trip to the Souk el Had in the Polizzi Medina or discover Agadir's museums, such as the Bert Flint Municipal Museum and its collection of traditional Moroccan objects, or the Amazigh Heritage Museum, where you can admire splendid Berber jewellery, carpets and talismans.
From sun-drenched beaches to arid deserts, bustling cities to snow-capped peaks, Morocco is a land of contrasts whose exceptional beauty captivates all visitors. Let yourself be charmed by the gentle way of life in this magnificent country, which offers you an unforgettable experience.
