The name literally means ‘the extreme west’, indicative of the western-most Arabic country. Tangiers, Marrakesh, Casablanca are cities that evoke shadowy intrigue, curved daggers, grand Moorish architecture, rugged tribalism, and of course, one of the greatest Hollywood love-stories of all time. Morocco is also home to the world’s first university, bustling marketplaces, ornate mosques, winding alleyways, colourful hustlers, aromatic spices, and architecture stamped with the glory days of Islam. Briefly step into the shoes of Tariq ibn Ziyad, the Muslim commander who stared out at the continent of Europe from Morocco’s watery edge in 700AD, little knowing that one day that huge imposing rock across the strait would be named after him: Jabl al Tariq (Gibraltar).
Peak Season Description:
Cool, dry days make this the best time to visit Morocco. October is perfect for hiking in the mountains and sunning on the beaches. November-February sees snowfall in the mountains, still perfect for travel if you don't mind lower temperatures; the coast can get windy particularly towards evening, but days are still gloriously sunny.
Shoulder Season Description:
Spring and autumn see milder temperatures in the mountains and on the coast, but spring showers can be expected. September is when the broiling summer ends and temperatures start to dip again as the country edges into its crisp, dry winter months.
Low Season Description:
Hot and humid conditions with soaring temperatures see a dwindling of crowds. Many desert activities are still on, but mostly in the early morning and evening, avoiding the peak temperatures of the day. The mountains are relatively cooler, but still a time to avoid if it can be helped. The hot and humid conditions also sees a profusion of insects.
