When to go to Morocco — honestly
A practical seasonal guide to choosing the right Morocco departure for your pace, route and priorities.
Read MorePacking for Morocco gets easier when you stop trying to prepare for one climate. A route from the coast to the Atlas and on to the Sahara is a layering problem, not a giant-suitcase problem.
Start with breathable daytime clothes, then add a light warm layer for early mornings and evenings. Comfortable closed shoes matter more than dress shoes on long medina days, and a scarf earns its place quickly in sun, dust and cool air.
Keep the bag simple enough that changing hotels does not become the hardest part of the journey.
Pack for movement first. Morocco will give you plenty of reasons to dress up later.
Sun protection, a refillable bottle, a compact day bag and room for something you buy along the way are more useful than filling every litre before departure.
