Marrakech in Autumn
Warm days, cool evenings, clear skies and the best availability for every tour — autumn is Marrakech at its finest.
If you are choosing when to visit Marrakech, October and November are the answer. Daytime temperatures sit around 25-30°C — warm enough for shirtsleeves, cool enough for hiking. The summer heat has broken, the crowds are manageable and every tour and activity runs at full capacity.
Autumn is also the best time for desert trips. The Sahara is warm during the day but comfortable at night, and the light for photography is exceptional — golden, directional, with clean skies.
