When is the best time to visit Morocco?

The best times to visit Morocco are spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) with pleasant temperatures. For the South and Sahara, choose winter (October–February) to avoid extreme heat.

Best seasons by region

North and Atlantic coasts: spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer ideal temperatures between 20 and 25°C.

South and Sahara desert: winter (October to February) is recommended to avoid scorching temperatures that can exceed 45°C in summer.

Atlas and mountains: be cautious of cold and humid winters at altitude. Prefer May-June and September-October.

Key points to remember

  • Avoid July-August in the South (extreme heat)
  • Winter can be harsh in the Atlas
  • The coasts remain temperate year-round
  • Ramadan can influence trip planning

Advice from our local agency

Adapt your dates according to your itinerary: a circuit combining imperial cities and the Sahara will be optimal in autumn or spring, while a beach stay on the coast can be done almost year-round.
