When it comes to a delightful tourist destination, Morocco is one of the hot favorites amongst travelers from various parts of the world. Just a few hours away from Europe’s major cities by flight, it is regularly frequented by travel-loving Europeans and adventure lovers. Receiving nine million foreign visitors every year, it is second only to Egypt as a popular North African holiday destination. Also, the vivid Morocco Tours available here, offer a new and colorful way to explore the country. Morocco is well-served by both budget and luxury airlines, with the main entry points to the country being Marrakesh, Casablanca, Fès, and Tangier. Tangier is also an important ferry point for visitors from Spain, which also makes this country accessible through the sea route to travelers.

The Best Imperial Cities Tours

Morocco is good for visiting throughout the year, however, avoiding the hot summer months of July and August is a good idea in order to escape the excessive heat. August is clearly the hottest time of the year with the city of Marrakesh being particularly scorching which makes it very exhausting to travel and visit places of interest during the day. However, if the season of summer is the only time available for traveling, then one can head for the cooling sea breezes in the cities of Essaouira and Asilah as their proximity to the sea keeps their climate more or less ideal throughout the year. In Asilah there is a three-week-long art festival in July, overlapping with Marrakesh’s Festival of Popular Arts, another not to be missed extravaganza while taking Morocco tours.

The best time to visit this country and take Morocco tours would be during the season of autumn when Morocco once again becomes a major traveling destination. During this time, accommodation prices rise, making it slightly difficult for the budget traveler to find his or her way around. However, everyone is in high spirits after Ramadan here which makes up for the high prices with joyful festivities and celebrations. The beaches are perfect at this time and the water feels just wonderful and the desert also benefits from gentle breezes, usual to the autumn season. Also, this is the right time to explore the winding streets of Fès Medina and discover its hidden treasures. The city also celebrates its founder in a huge moussem or religious festival in September at this time and the Imilchil’s Berber Marriage festival is a sight to witness.
