Why March is a Great Time for Morocco

March is the pivotal month between winter and spring in Morocco. The weather improves noticeably compared to January-February, but the Easter crowds (which fall in March or April) have not yet arrived. It is the time to enjoy the most authentic Morocco at the best prices.

Almond blossoms (February–March)

The Almond Valley (Tafraout) and many Anti-Atlas valleys are covered in white and pink blossoms in late February and early March. A unique natural spectacle in the Arab world.

Snow-capped Atlas + green valleys

In March the visual contrast is spectacular: the still snow-covered Atlas mountains against the spring-green Dadès and Ourika valleys. The photos are incredible.

Before the high season

If Easter falls in April, March is perfect: same weather but without the crowds and at mid-season prices. Riads have availability and monuments have no queues.

Sahara desert in perfect conditions

The Sahara in March has warm days (22-28°C) and cool but pleasant nights. Perfect for a night under the stars at the luxury camp in Merzouga.
