When to visit Morocco?

Morocco is a diverse nation that offers something for all types of tourists, making it an excellent destination year-round. Still, spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the most popular months to visit Morocco due to the pleasant weather.

January and February are the coldest and most rainy months, with fewer visitors and lower prices, making it an excellent time to visit. For serene and relaxing tours, the cooler winter months (November to February) are a perfect time to visit the Sahara Desert or trek the Atlas Mountains.

Expect large crowds and increased prices during the spring, when many European visitors go to Morocco to warm up during the long weekend.
