When to come
Marrakech through the year.
- Spring and autumn
- The classic incentive seasons: October averages a high of about 28.5 °C and a low of about 15.7 °C.
- September
- Still hot: average highs around 32.5 °C, so plan outdoor moments for morning and evening.
- Summer
- Very hot inland; groups shift activity to early mornings, pools and evenings, or to the coast.
- Winter
- Mild, sunny days and cold nights; Agafay dinners need heaters and blankets. Ramadan and Eid move each year, so check dates first.
