Weather & seasonality guide for Marrakech walking tours
🌸 Spring (March–May): Best overall season
Mild temperatures and clear skies make spring ideal for walking tours. Days are warm but comfortable, gardens are in bloom, and the Medina feels lively without explaining heat fatigue. Expect pleasant mornings and evenings—perfect for longer walks and photo stops.
☀️ Summer (June–August): Walk smart, go late
Summer brings intense heat, especially midday. Walking tours still work best in the early morning or after sunset, when temperatures drop and the Medina comes alive. Evening and night walking tours are especially popular, offering a cooler, more atmospheric experience.
🍁 Autumn (September–November): Comfortable and vibrant
Autumn mirrors spring in many ways, with warm days and cooler evenings. It’s a great time for relaxed walking, food tours, and cultural exploration. Crowds begin to thin compared to peak summer, while the city retains its buzz.
❄️ Winter (December–February): Cool days, crisp evenings
Winter days are generally sunny and mild, ideal for daytime walking tours. Evenings can be chilly, so layers are recommended. This season is excellent for sightseeing without heat, though nights cool quickly after sunset.
