Best Time to Visit Morocco: Complete Travel Guide

Planning your Morocco adventure? The best time to visit Morocco is during the golden seasons of spring (March-May) and fall (September-November), when comfortable temperatures of 20-26°C (68-79°F) create perfect conditions for exploring everything from bustling medinas to the vast Sahara Desert.

Whether you’re drawn to the imperial cities of Marrakech and Fez, the snow-capped Atlas peaks, or the endless dunes of the Sahara, timing your visit during these optimal months ensures comfortable exploration of Morocco’s diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage.

No matter when you choose to visit, Morocco’s warm hospitality and stunning contrasts promise an unforgettable journey.
