When is the best time to visit Marrakech?
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the most comfortable seasons. Daytime temperatures sit in the mid-20s to low-30s, perfect for exploring the souks and gardens. If you prefer quieter streets and lower prices, winter is mild but can drop to single figures at night.

Light, breathable clothing for the heat, plus a scarf or shawl for visiting mosques. In winter add a warm layer for evenings. Sunscreen and a hat are essential year-round.
