Best time to go to Marrakech

Spring and autumn are the best times to visit the Marrakech area. Temperatures during these times flit between 20˚C and 25˚C. In the summer, the mercury can rise as high as 38˚C during the day. It’s still fine to come at this time of year, but you’ll probably want to plan your sightseeing around an afternoon siesta so you avoid the hottest part of the day.

Passports & Visas

British citizens don’t need a visa to enter Morocco but must have a valid passport. For the most up-to-date passport and visa info, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/morocco/entry-requirements.
