- Where to Travel in March
March is an optimal time to visit the Middle East, as spring’s gentle warmth creates an inviting atmosphere before the summer heat sets in. Further east, the bright, sunny days in Vietnam give it an inviting backdrop for exploring lush rice terraces, bustling markets, and serene coastal views.
GALAPAGOS
See the islands at their most colourful
Wildlife is the star of the show year-round in the Galapagos, but March is particularly special for snorkelers, as the sea temperature warms to a pleasant w 77°F., These inviting waters attract hammerhead sharks and manta rays. On land, sightings of blue-footed boobies,sealions, and frigatebirds are plentiful. March marks the beginning of mating season, so you may see the males’ inflated red throat pouches used to attract females on our Island Hopping in the Galapagos and Galapagos Encounter.

VIETNAM
Dry and hot weather in Southeast Asia
Vietnam is a top destination in March with bright days stretching across the entire country. The south basks in warm, dry beach conditions, while in the north, Halong Bay remains clear and rain-free. Dive into the country’s rich cultural tapestry from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City on our Vietnam Adventure, or choose a more dynamic exploration route kayaking, cycling and hiking on our Trails of Vietnam trip. Both itineraries offer you an unforgettable opportunity to experience sleeper trains from Hanoi to Hue! View all our Vietnam tours here
BHUTAN
Celebrate the Paro Festival
March in Bhutan is extraordinary. This is typically when the Paro Festival takes place, on the 10th day of the 2nd Lunar month in the Bhutanese calendar. Bringing ancient culture to life with rituals and dances, it’s an explosion of color with masked performances, sacred prayer meetings and folk music.You can experience it on our Festivals of Bhutan – Paro trip. It’s an outstanding time for hiking under clear skies as the rhododendrons bloom on the hillsides on our Bhutan: Druk Path Trek. View all our Bhutan tours here
MOROCCO
Perfect for visiting bazaars
Springtime in Morocco is pleasant and sunny, with daily highs around 68°F. Mild temperatures and smaller crowds make it the perfect season to visit the virabnt souks and bazaars in Marrakech and Fez, or to wander through the fortified village of Ait Benhaddou and the ancient ruins of Volubilis on our Highlights of Morocco trip. It’s an ideal time for our Marrakech & the Sahara adventure, as the heat has yet to reach its summer intensity. However, we’d recommend bringing some warmer clothes for your overnight stay in the Bedouin camp. View all our Morocco tours here
EGYPT
Soak up the sun on the Nile
If you want to avoid the scorching summer heat but still enjoy warm, sunny weather, March is the perfect time to visit Egypt. In the Nile Valley and Cairo, you’ll experience pleasant temperatures ranging from 64°F to 75°F – perfect for sightseeing in the Valley of the Kings and the Luxor Temples. So, why not soak up the rays on a traditional felucca sailing boat on our Nile Cruise or tuck into refreshing local delights on a food tour through the streets of Cairo on our Egypt: Alexandria to Aswan trip?
