Season Overview
Spring (Mar–May)
★★★★★Best overall. Mild 65–80°F, wildflowers in Atlas, manageable crowds. Ideal for all regions.
Fall (Sep–Nov)
★★★★★Excellent. Cooler after summer heat, beautiful light, fewer tourists than spring.
Winter (Dec–Feb)
★★★★☆Great for Sahara (cool nights, warm days). Marrakech 55–65°F. Atlas Mountains may have snow.
Summer (Jun–Aug)
★★★☆☆Hot inland (100°F+ in Marrakech). Best for Atlantic coast (Essaouira, Agadir). Avoid Sahara.
