City Essentials

Morocco is a year-round destination, but the ideal time to visit depends on your activities and regions of interest. For milder weather and fewer tourists, consider visiting during spring (mid-March to May) or autumn (September to October). If you're planning a beach holiday, Morocco's coastal areas offer pleasant temperatures year-round. For a hiking adventure in the Atlas Mountains, schedule your trip for the cooler spring and autumn months to avoid extreme temperatures. Desert trips are most comfortable from September to May, but bring warm clothing as desert nights can be chilly. Always, remember to check Ramadan dates as this can affect services and business operating hours.

Nightlife

Whether you prefer relaxing at a laid-back beach bar in Agadir, dancing the night away at a ritzy club in Marrakesh, or catching a thrilling performance of traditional Berber music in a desert camp, Morocco's varied nightlife has something for everyone. In cosmopolitan Casablanca, enjoy the evening buzz at Rick's Cafe, an homage to the movie classic, 'Casablanca.' At the opulent Lotus Club Marrakech, dance the night away to the hottest hits from around the globe.
