Marrakech: tips for first-timers

  1. Cash is king in Marrakech, especially in the souks and smaller restaurants, so always have dirhams (local currency) on hand.
  2. Be prepared for the heat — temperatures can soar, particularly in the summer, so bring light, breathable clothing and stay hydrated.
  3. Haggling is part of the culture, especially in the souks. Don’t be afraid to negotiate, but always keep it friendly and polite.
  4. Stick to bottled water, as tap water in Marrakech is generally not recommended for drinking.

  6. The medina can be a maze; downloading an offline map app will help you navigate.
  7. In Marrakech, prayer times happen daily and at different times. While many larger establishments will stay open, especially in tourist areas, some smaller, family-run shops may temporarily close during prayer.

An all-season guide to the best time to visit Marrakech
An all-season guide to the best time to visit Marrakech

The jewel of Morocco, Marrakech is a city that’s earned many titles in its millennia-old lifetime. “Red City,” “Daughter of the Desert,” and Imperial City are just a few of the monikers that speak to the city’s poetic and historical legacy. If you’re unsure about the best time to visit Marrakech, this month-by-month guide will show you which season is the best for strolling through the artistically imagined Majorelle Garden or exploring native flora at Ourika Valley. Read on and find the best months to explore its iconic markets, architecture, desert landscape, and more.

Choosing the best time to go to Marrakech

Given the unwieldy high temperatures in the summer months and some (albeit minimal) showers in the winter season, spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) are the best times to visit the public market and historical sights of Marrakech.

Best time for outdoor lovers

Dry, warm conditions are ideal for properly enjoying the area’s natural beauty. March to June or September to October are ideal times for outdoor lovers to visit.

Best time for people on a budget

The same reasons that make spring and fall the best time to visit Marrakech are why November through March often yield the cheapest flights. If you’re okay with high rainfall each month, a trip in these months might be easier on your wallet.

Best time for sightseeing

If you’re optimizing your trip for sights and events, fall is your best chance to catch moderate temperatures with almost no rainfall, myriad festival options, and gardens in full bloom.

Spring in Marrakech is nice and balmy starting in March, with average temperatures ranging from 50 to 70 F (10 to 26 C). A stop at the Festival of Roses will immerse you in blooming rose valleys.

I read some reviews mentioning that this was a easy trek! As someone who doesn’t often do things like this I would mention that it was quite difficult in my opinion and others in my group who had experienced the trek up the mention mentioned the same. The actual tour guide up the mountain was very good, I did enjoy it and it was an interesting experience. I loved seeing how argan oil was made and we had some lovely dips! Our transportation was good, WiFi was included. Our driver was named Yassin and was great. Overall great trip and good value for money!

It's totally worth paying for this tour. They picked us up from where we were staying, explained the activities to be done, and a guy named Abdillah, who was very kind, accompanied us throughout the day. Highly recommended, good food, and beautiful views.

Nice experience, strongly suggested, and the service provided by Anas was amazing! He made us feel very comfortable while visiting very special areas and enjoying our time!

Fantastic day out, and a really great experience. Our guide Amal was so lovely. Great value for money. We loved it!

Khadijaaa was our tour guide and she made it amazing and really easy for us.
