Weather in Morocco

Situated on North Africa's western tip, Morocco abuts the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Coastal regions are known to be warm and pleasant, while the interior is hot and dry. Marrakech, for instance, averages 38ËšC during the summer months. The average winter temperature is 21ËšC, making that season the most popular time to visit. However, coastal cities like Casablanca do receive most of their rain during the winter months. Light cotton clothing and linens are advisable for most of the year, though more dense fabrics can be worn at the coolest times of year.

Places to Go in Morocco

A visit to Morocco is incomplete without Marrakech. Stepping into this classic Middle Eastern commercial and cultural centre transports visitors to another time. Intricately designed mosques and minarets decorate the skyline, while shopping-and much bartering-is done at traditional bazaars with authentic artisans and merchants. Natural beauty awaits in Tangier, where the Mediterranean serves as a backdrop to ancient culture and modern nightlife. Hercules' Cave is found here. This partially submerged grotto is said to have been occupied by the Greek mythological hero and was made accessible by the Berber tribes during the Middle Ages. Down the west coast of Morocco is the city of Casablanca. Mosques, churches and the Museum of Moroccan Judaism all attest to the city's diverse religious history. Visiting the centre of Casablanca, the Square of Mohammed V gives tourists an unmistakable impression of ancient architecture and North African populations.
