Morocco Winter Sun Holidays
Why Morocco is a great winter destination and suggested tours
Looking to escape the grey skies and cold weather in Europe and head somewhere warm? Morocco is a brilliant choice for winter sun holidays, and with flights under 5 hours, it’s a great alternative to travelling long-haul. With warm weather year-round and plenty of sunshine, travelling to Morocco during the winter months is an excellent idea. The average daily temperatures range from 16 to 20°C, but they cool down in the evenings, so it’s best to pack warm layers and expect occasional rain showers.
Winter activities
Sahara Desert
Head into the dunes, stopping off at Ait Benhaddou, before arriving in the desert town of Zagora and climbing onto a camel to reach your traditional Bedouin camp, where you’ll spend the night. Enjoy being immersed in the stillness of the desert and watch the incredible sunset over the golden dunes.
Coastal Experiences
From sandboarding on the dunes in Agadir to quad biking, surfing, or kitesurfing in Essaouira, the coast is full of adventurous activities to keep you busy during the winter months. If you’re looking for mild weather, laid-back towns and some salty sea air, Morocco’s coast should definitely be in your itinerary.
Cultural trips
A visit to Morocco has to include a stay in one of the many vibrant cities, with Marrakech being the most iconic. Get lost in the souqs and learn how to prepare a traditional Moroccan meal, hop on a bike and cycle through the streets or join a walking tour around enchanting Fez and enjoy a traditional tea with a local family.
