Morocco's climate varies a lot between the coast, the cities, the mountains and the desert, so the right time to go depends on where you are heading.
This guide gives a seasonal overview to help you plan.
Spring is widely considered one of the most comfortable seasons, with pleasant days and green landscapes in the countryside and the mountains.
Inland cities and the desert can be very hot. Many travellers head to the Atlantic coast or the mountains. If you visit the Sahara in summer, read our guide to the best time to visit the Sahara.
Heat eases and the light is beautiful, making autumn a great time for cities, the desert and road trips. Our 7, 10 and 14 day itineraries work well in this season.
Days are often mild and sunny, but nights can be cold, especially in the desert and the mountains, where snow is possible. See our Atlas Mountains guide.
Ramadan moves through the calendar each year and affects opening hours and atmosphere. Read our Ramadan in Morocco guide.
