Morocco in February: Weather, Where to Go and What to Do (2027)
February extends Morocco's mild winter while hinting at spring: the almond trees blossom in the southern valleys, winter sun warms Agadir and Marrakech, and prices stay low. An underrated month, perfect for escaping the European cold without the crowds.
February extends Morocco's mild winter while hinting at spring: 19-21 °C in Marrakech, 20-22 °C in Agadir (the mildest, sunny) by day, but cool nights everywhere (5-8 °C, down to -5 °C in the Atlas). It's the month of the almond blossom, which colors the southern valleys pink and white — the Tafraoute region (Anti-Atlas, almond blossom festival) and Atlas valleys. The desert is still very doable: mild days and pure skies, but cold nights (2-6 °C) call for a heated camp. At Oukaïmeden, skiing remains possible in the snowy Atlas. Outside winter school holidays, February is an affordable low season: gentle prices on riads and flights, quiet sights — though February breaks (depending on the country) can temporarily push up demand in Marrakech and Agadir.
