Spring is an ideal time to visit Morocco, especially the desert region. The weather is pleasant, with warm temperatures reminiscent of a European summer, but without the scorching heat of August. While nights can still be chilly, it’s best to dress in layers to adapt to changing temperatures. If you are traveling in March or April, mid-season clothing for the day and warmer attire for the nights are recommended. Keep in mind that the journey through the Atlas Mountains may be cooler. Although March may see some rainfall and cooler temperatures, it’s a quieter season. April offers favorable weather, making it an excellent time to explore the desert.
