Exotic Morocco has long been a popular destination with UK travellers wanting a bit of spice on holiday. Flights to Morocco take a mere three hours from the UK, but culturally the country feels a lifetime away. In the bustling souks of Marrakech, everything under the sun is for sale, from spices and chickens, to carpets and babouches. The central square, the Djemma el-Fna, is the location for snake charmers and water pedlars, while story tellers weave their spells under the long shadow of the Koutoubia Mosque. As the sun sets, the food stalls open up, luring tourists and locals to the square to eat and socialise.
Take a trip back in time and visit Morocco’s religious capital, Fez. Get lost in the medieval city’s preserved medieval labyrinth of alleys and streets, stopping only for a cup of pungent mint tea in a local outdoor café. Along the coast, towns such as laidback Essouira, boast whitewashed riads, set against blue skies and blue seas. Further down the coast, modern resorts have sprung up in Agadir and around, popular with package tours. Adventure seekers can head off the beaten track; it’s possible to take camel rides across the desert, ski on the high Atlas Mountains, and to sleep out under the stars in Erg Chebbi.

Extreme inland, but cooler and more pleasant closer to the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. Temperatures in Marrakech average 21 degrees in the winter and 38 degrees in the summer. The Atlas Mountains have snow nearly all year round, and temperatures sometimes fall below -17 degrees. During the winter, the north is wet and rainy, but the south is dry and very cold as it approaches the Moroccan Sahara.
Peak Season:
Morocco enjoys warm temperatures year-round (July and August are the hottest months) with some rain between November and March, but the weather varies according to where you visit. Temperatures are high in the south and in the desert area. In the mountainous regions of the country, it is cooler.
In February the almond tree blossom festival takes place in Tafraoute.
In April and May, the south, mountains, and Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts enjoy perfect weather.
May has a number of public holidays including Eid El-Mawlid, a privilege holiday for the Queen’s Birthday and the late May bank holiday.
Off Season:
Away from the coast the summer months of July and August may be unbearably hot for many travellers.
