When to Go
Untitled Document
Morocco is at its best in spring (mid-March to May), when the country is lush and green, followed by autumn (September to November) when the heat of summer has eased.
At other times, don’t underestimate the extremes of summer heat and winter, particularly in the High Atlas, where snowcapped peaks persist from November to July. If you are travelling in winter, head for the south, although be prepared for bitterly cold nights. Morocco’s Mediterranean coast and Rif Mountains are frequently wet and cloudy in winter and early spring.
Apart from the weather, it is the timing of Ramadan, the traditional month of fasting and purification, which is another important consideration, as some restaurants and cafés close during the day and general business hours are reduced.
