Sahara Desert at sunset – Best time to visit Morocco

🌸 Spring (March - May): Best for Sightseeing & Nature

Spring is one of the best times to visit Morocco, with mild temperatures and blooming landscapes. Cities like Marrakech and Fes are perfect for exploring, while the Atlas Mountains are green and fresh. It's also a great time for a desert trip before the summer heat sets in.


☀️ Summer (June - August): Best for Beaches & Mountains

Summer can be hot, especially in the desert, but it’s the best time to visit Morocco’s coastal cities like Essaouira and Agadir. If you love adventure, hiking in the cooler Atlas Mountains is also a great option!


🍂 Autumn (September - November): Best for Desert & Culture

With warm days and cool nights, autumn is perfect for camel trekking in the Sahara. The cities are less crowded, making it an ideal time for sightseeing in Fes and Marrakech.


❄️ Winter (December - February): Best for Culture & Snow

Winter is great for experiencing Morocco’s culture without the crowds. You can explore Marrakech and Fes comfortably, or even go skiing in the Atlas Mountains near Ifrane!
