TERRAIN & WEATHER

Our Moroccan cooking vacation takes us to a wide variety of Moroccan villages and cities. All of the locations we visit have lovely, mild weather most of the year, and we don’t offer this tour in the hottest summer months. Spring and autumn are the best time to visit Morocco, but the winter months can be quite lovely as well, with fewer crowds.

In bustling coastal Casablanca, the weather is quite moderate year-round, but can get cooler and wet in the winter. In the relaxed fishing village of Essaouira the weather is mild, although quite windy - a great place to try windsurfing. In our Berber mountain village we stay at an altitude of about 1200 feet (365m), so the weather remains mild year-round, although plan for it to get fairly cool in the winter. And in Marrakech the weather is lovely and warm most of the year, and can get quite hot in the summer.

In the winter months, please be prepared for some rain and low temperatures ranging from 32-50°F at night and 59-70°F during the day, depending on the location.
