Best time to go to Marrakech

This vibrant city has a high desert climate, meaning scorching hot summers that were made for serious sun-seekers. July’s the hottest month, with average highs hitting 35°C and lows hovering around 22°C.

For those looking to avoid the peak summer heat and the crowds, spring and autumn offer the ideal balance. You’ll also score some deals on the prices of hotels, activities and attractions for a more budget-friendly escape.
