Morocco Luxury Travels
Wander to the land of Color and Contrast
The entire country of Morocco is infused with old-world charm, each turn delivering another mesmeric spell.
Minarets and fortress towers create an unforgettable skyline. Craggy mountain ranges separate lush valleys from desolate desert sands. The sweet ocean scent of the Atlantic blows through labyrinthine streets of its ancient cities..
The delicate aroma of rosewater wafts around a shop filled with decadent silks. Carpets are woven in an intricate fashion and leaned against the old city walls. Elements of French colonisation linger along the parapets of the new marketplace. The vibrant history of an old desert-trading town continues in the shade of the fortress.
The Best time to visit Morocco
The best time to visit Morocco is during Spring (mid-March to May) and Fall (September to October), offering pleasant temperatures for city exploration and mountain hikes. The coastal areas of Morocco are enjoyable year-round, with moderate temperatures during winter. In contrast, summer offers a taste of tropical paradise, with temperatures reaching up to 75°F and beyond.
For adventurer seekers, the High Atlas Mountains beckon, with ideal conditions for hiking and exploration between April and October.
Month-by-month guide for traveling in Morocco
April-May offers excellent conditions for outdoor adventures and we suggest you venture out of Marrakech for a quiet hike past Berber villages in the majestic Atlas Mountains. One can expect occasional spring showers and the strong winds in the Sahara could bring in occasional sandstorms.
Be prepared for some rain, and remember to pack warm clothing, especially in the north.
