Morocco Month by Month
Morocco is a year-round country — but every month has its own weather, crowds and reasons to come. Here is what each one is really like, from someone travelling them.
This series is part of the Plan Your Trip hub, alongside safety, packing and transport.
The short version: spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are the sweet spots, the desert is at its best October to April, and summer belongs to the coast and mountains. Tap any month for the full picture — weather by region, what is on, crowds and prices, and who it suits. For the quick overview, see the best time to visit Morocco.
