What is considered high season in Morocco?
Morocco's high season typically runs from March to May and September to November. These months offer the most pleasant weather conditions, with warm days and cool nights, making them ideal for exploring the country's diverse landscapes.
How far in advance should I book accommodation?
For high season travel, it's recommended to book accommodation at least 3-4 months in advance, especially for popular riads in cities like Marrakech and Fes. For luxury properties or unique accommodations, consider booking 6 months ahead.
Are there any festivals during high season?
Yes, several festivals occur during high season, including the Rose Festival in Kelaa M'Gouna (May), the Gnaoua World Music Festival in Essaouira (June), and various cultural events. These can be wonderful to experience but may require additional planning due to increased crowds.
How can I avoid crowds at popular sites?
Visit popular attractions early in the morning (right at opening) or later in the afternoon. Consider hiring a local guide who knows the best times to visit and alternative entrances. Also, explore lesser-known areas that offer similar experiences with fewer tourists.
Is it safe to travel to Morocco during high season?
Morocco is generally safe for tourists during high season. However, with larger crowds comes increased risk of petty theft. Be vigilant in crowded areas, keep valuables secure, and follow standard safety precautions. Our women-only tours provide additional security and support for female travelers.
