The best month to visit is "April"

April is considered the best month to travel to Morocco. During this time, temperatures are very comfortable, at around 20 to 25 degrees during the day, creating ideal conditions for sightseeing and outdoor activities. Flowers bloom in urban areas, adding color to the cityscape. In particular, in historical cities such as Marrakech and Fez, you can enjoy strolling through the old towns and visiting markets without being bothered by the heat. In addition, the snow melts around the Atlas Mountains, creating an environment suitable for trekking and hiking. In addition, April is before the peak tourist season, and major tourist destinations are relatively less crowded, allowing you to enjoy sightseeing at a leisurely pace. Hotel and tour prices are also lower than in the summer, making it a good value for money. Overall, April is the best month to travel to Morocco, with a good balance of climate, crowding, and cost.

The least recommended month is "August"

August is one of the least suitable months for traveling to Morocco. During this period, temperatures in the inland and desert areas continue to exceed 40 degrees Celsius, making sightseeing and outdoor activities very difficult. Especially in urban areas such as Marrakech and Fez, the heat is severe, and sightseeing during the day is physically demanding. In addition, August overlaps with the summer holidays in European countries, so tourist sites and accommodations tend to be crowded and prices tend to rise. Although it is relatively cool in coastal areas, it is crowded with tourists enjoying swimming in the sea, so it may not be suitable for travelers looking for a quiet stay. In addition, the risk of getting sick due to the heat increases, so it is essential to take measures against heatstroke. For these reasons, we recommend avoiding traveling to Morocco in August.
