Marrakech

Spring (Mar–May): Best overall—pleasant days in the 20s°C, blooming gardens and comfortable evenings. Peak season (especially Mar–Apr); expect more tourists and higher prices. Marrakech Biennale often falls in spring (every two years). Summer (Jun–Aug): Very hot (often 30s–40s°C) and dry. Off‑peak for tourists—lower prices and quieter souks—but midday heat limits sightseeing. Ramadan (dates vary) can also affect opening hours when it falls in summer. Autumn (Sep–Nov): Another excellent window—warm, comfortable weather and fewer extremes. Peak again in Oct–Nov; the Marrakech International Film Festival is held in November. Winter (Dec–Feb): Mild days (around 10–20°C) and cool nights. Off‑peak except holiday weeks—cheaper, fewer crowds, good for budget travelers and Atlas excursions.
