Morocco Tours

The best season to visit Morocco mainly depends on the temperature that you prefer and the activity you are planning. Typically, the most temperate times to visit Morocco are in the early spring between March and May, and the fall in September and October. November to February can be chilly, but it is also a wonderful time of the year to experience a quieter, more everyday Morocco, free from crowds.

Summer can be hot, but coastal areas like Tangier and Essaouira, along with the Atlas Mountains, offer more bearable temperatures. If you’re joining one of our Morocco cycling tours, the cooler spring and fall months will offer more comfortable rides. Avoiding desert regions during summer is advisable due to extreme daytime heat and chilly nights. October brings the date season, enhancing the countryside’s lushness and sweet aromas, while Ramadan, usually in April or May, offers a unique cultural experience.

Morocco is located in North Africa. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea to the west and north, respectively. Morocco shares land borders with Algeria to the east and the Western Sahara to the south. The Strait of Gibraltar separates Morocco from Spain to the north. The capital city of Morocco is Rabat, and other major cities include Casablanca, Marrakech, Fez, and Tangier.

Morocco caters to every traveler’s taste. Thrill enthusiasts can conquer the High, Middle, and Anti-Atlas Mountains, explore Saharan sandbanks, or marvel at the Rif Mountains on our hiking tours in Morocco. Cities like Fez and Marrakech showcase rich culture, ancient souks, and stunning architecture, engaging every sense.

Coastal gems like Essaouira, Tangier, and Casablanca provide a cooler, beach-oriented escape with water sports aplenty. The unique blend of Arab, Amazigh, and colonial influences, coupled with a culinary culture like no other, ensures a one-of-a-kind experience on our Morocco tours.

Morocco is a peaceful and relatively safe place to visit. Locals are hospitable and friendly, and communicating in Arabic, French or English is common, making communication rarely an issue. The country can be quite conservative, so it is advisable to dress modestly and avoid public displays of affection, particularly if you identify as LGBTQIA+ or a woman.

Petty crimes such as pickpocketing and scamming have been known to happen, so always be vigilant, don’t carry too much cash, use a money belt, and keep valuables out of sight. If locals approach you offering tours, access to shops with better prices, and other unsolicited services, it’s best to politely decline.

Our guides will be with you every step of the way, offering advice and ensuring a safe journey.
