Escape the summer heat and the tourist crowds
TRAVEL IN THE OFF-SEASON
September and October are some of the best months to visit Morocco. The summer heat starts to fade away and temperatures become more moderate, making it an ideal time to explore the country’s vibrant cities, deserts, and mountains. The crowds of tourists that flock to Morocco during the peak summer months also begin to disperse, meaning you'll have more space to enjoy the sights and sounds of the country. And don't forget your camera, as the autumnal landscape adds a stunning touch to the already beautiful scenery of Morocco.
