Several countries, each with its season
The coast is mild when the desert is too hot, and the mountains are green when the cities are dry. This is how we read the year when we plan for a client.

Marrakech & the plains
Spring and autumn are ideal. Summer afternoons are very hot; winter days are bright and the nights cold.
High Atlas
Walking is best from April to October. Snow closes the high paths in winter, which has its own beauty from a lodge.
Sahara & the Deep South
October to April. We do not send guests into the dunes in July or August.
Atlantic coast
Mild all year. Agadir is a winter-sun town; Essaouira is cool and windy in summer when inland is burning.
Fez & the North
Spring is the finest season. Winters are wet and cold in the Rif; midsummer in Fez is heavy.
A word on Ramadan
The dates move earlier each year. The country slows by day and comes alive after sunset, and a visit then is quieter and often more memorable. We plan around it with you rather than avoiding it.
