🎒 What to Pack for a Trip to Morocco – Seasonal Guide
Morocco is a country of contrasts: snow-capped mountains, scorching desert dunes, coastal breezes, and vibrant cities. That’s why packing smart is essential — it helps you stay comfortable, avoid overpacking, and be ready for every situation.
Here’s a practical guide to help you pack depending on the season you’re visiting.
☀️ Spring (March – May)
One of the best times to visit Morocco — pleasant temperatures, green landscapes, and blooming flowers.
What to pack:
Lightweight long-sleeved shirts (cotton or linen)
A jacket or sweater for cool evenings
Comfortable walking shoes
Hat or cap and sunglasses
Sunscreen
Light scarf (handy for markets or windy areas)
Bonus tip: Great time for exploring the mountains or desert with mild temperatures.
☀️ Summer (June – August)
Summer can be extremely hot, especially inland and in the south. Coastal areas are cooler.
What to pack:
Very light, breathable clothing in light colors
Comfortable sandals
Sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat
High SPF sunscreen
Swimsuit (for beaches or riads with pools)
Large scarf or shawl (for sun protection or religious sites)
Bonus tip: Stay hydrated and avoid going out during peak heat hours (12 pm–4 pm).
🍂 Autumn (September – November)
Similar to spring — mild days and cooler nights. Great for visiting any region.
What to pack:
Light layers for the day and warmer clothing for the evening
Trekking shoes if planning hikes
Light rain jacket or windbreaker (especially in the north or mountains)
Scarf or shawl
Bonus tip: Ideal time for exploring imperial cities like Fez and Marrakech in comfort.
❄️ Winter (December – February)
Mild in coastal and southern regions, but cold in the mountains and desert — especially at night.
What to pack:
Warm clothes: thick jacket, sweaters, long pants
Thermal layers for the desert or the Atlas Mountains
Closed, comfortable shoes
Hat, gloves, and scarf for colder areas
Bonus tip: Many riads don’t have central heating, so bring warm sleepwear just in case.
🎯 General Packing Tips for Any Season
European plug adapter (Type C or E)
Small backpack or day bag for excursions
Basic medicine or personal prescriptions
Wet wipes, hand sanitizer, and travel-size toilet paper
Respect local culture: avoid very revealing clothing, especially in rural or religious areas
