Morocco in November: Weather, Where to Go and What to Do (2026)
November is an underrated and excellent month for Morocco. Crowds thin out, prices drop, and the weather stays mild and sunny in the south and interior. It's the ideal time to visit without the crowds, enjoy the desert and the cities at a relaxed pace.
November is an underrated and excellent month for Morocco: mild and pleasant weather with 21-25 °C in Marrakech, 22-25 °C in Agadir (the sunniest coast, though the water stays cool), and 23-27 °C in the desert by day but cold nights (6-10 °C) — bring a good warm layer for camp. Up in the Atlas, first snows appear, with nights dropping to -2 to 5 °C. The north (Fes, Chefchaouen) turns cooler and rainier, so it's better to favor the south. This is one of the best months for value: low footfall outside holidays, falling accommodation and flight rates, and quiet sights in Marrakech, Agadir and the Sahara. Two dates mark the month: Green March (6 November) and Independence Day (18 November), with olive groves in full harvest.
