Marrakech in November: Weather, Film Festival and Things to Do
November is one of the most pleasant months in Marrakech: the heat has gone, skies stay blue and the city hosts its big film festival. Here is everything to know before you go.
Marrakech in November means around 22 °C by day and 10 °C at night, with a few possible showers but mostly sunshine: ideal for the medina, gardens and day trips. The big event is the Marrakech International Film Festival, from 20 to 28 November 2026, which draws stars and film lovers. Several Moroccan public holidays fall in November, notably the Green March (6 November) and Independence Day (18 November): government offices and banks close, but tourism runs as normal. For activities, it is the right season for the Agafay Desert (from €14), the Ourika Valley (from €9-15) and a hot-air balloon flight (from €52-61). Outside the October half-term, prices stay reasonable, but festival week is in higher demand.
