Merzouga ATV Quad Biking in Morocco Sahara Desert

Best Time to Travel to Morocco

Morocco is a fantastic destination year-round. However, the best time to visit the Sahara Desert is during the spring season, which runs from March to May. This period is characterized by moderate and beautiful weather, with calm rains and comfortable temperatures, making it ideal for tourism and enjoying Morocco’s natural beauty. During this time, you can explore all the cities from the north to the south, with May being particularly perfect as it allows you the freedom to choose any region for your holiday. In contrast, summer can be very hot in the desert, so if you prefer warmer weather, consider visiting the Atlantic coast.

Souvenirs and Memories from Morocco

As you explore Morocco, you’ll be tempted by the variety of souvenirs available. Here are some recommendations:

– Handcrafted Terracotta Pottery: Throughout Morocco, you’ll find shops selling beautiful pottery items. These include ashtrays, tagines, salad bowls, and salt shakers. The best pottery comes from the city of Safi, and smaller items are often more practical and affordable.

– Clothing and Footwear: Moroccan clothes are unique and stylish. Sellers often wear these garments, which include djellabas, trousers, and tunics in various cuts and fabrics, with or without embroidery. Each region has its own style, and gandouras are a great option for both men and women. Don’t forget to buy traditional Moroccan slippers, made entirely of leather, for comfortable wear at home.
