Weather

  • The variety within Morocco can be clearly seen by the different climatic zones. For instance, in one day you're passing through snow in the High Atlas and you're ending finally at the dunes of the Sahara. Throughout the trip towards there, you can experience all seasons!
    By the sea, there is an all-year-round constant mild temperature because of the wind - in contrast, it might be a bit warm in land and very hot in the south. In the desert, the temperature can increase in summer to 45 degrees in the shade. That's why it's better to travel in springtime, autumn or even in winter, when the temperature is still reaching 20 degrees during the daytime and towards evening it's getting a bit chilly.
