When to go to Morocco?
Morocco can be visited all year round, but the best time depends on your destination and the type of trip you want: city break, mountain trekking or seaside stay.
Spring and autumn – The ideal period (March–May and Sept–Nov)
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer the best conditions for visiting the imperial cities and hiking in the High Atlas. Temperatures are pleasant, landscapes are lush, and crowds are smaller than during peak season.
Summer – To be considered depending on the region (June to August)
Summer can be very hot in inland cities (Marrakech, Fès reach 37–40°C), but remains pleasant on the Atlantic coast (Agadir, Essaouira). It is also the ideal time for seaside stays and nights bivouacking in the Sahara Desert.
Winter – Mild weather and authenticity (December to February)
Moroccan winter is mild on the coast (Agadir, Marrakech) and cool in the mountains. It’s an excellent time for city breaks in Marrakech and cultural tours, with fewer tourists and more attractive prices. Snow on the Atlas is also a wonderful surprise.

Which trip to Morocco is right for you?
Morocco lends itself to many travel styles: a city break in Marrakech, a tour through the imperial cities, an adventure in the Sahara Desert, a seaside stay in Agadir, or trekking in the High Atlas. Depending on your wishes, the season and your pace, several experiences await you in this multi-faceted country.
Morocco family trip – discovery and wonder
Morocco is a fantastic destination for families. Children are celebrated in this country where hospitality is a fundamental value. Between the magic of the Marrakech souks, the Sahara dromedaries, the beaches of Agadir and the rammed-earth kasbahs of the South, Morocco as a family is an inexhaustible source of wonder and discovery.
You will especially enjoy:
- dromedary ride in the Sahara
- seaside stay in Agadir
- discovering the souks and craftsmanship
Morocco couple’s trip – romance and riads
Morocco is the quintessential romantic destination. Staying in a private riad with an interior courtyard and fountain in Marrakech or Fès, dining by candlelight on a terrace overlooking the rooftops of the medina, watching the sun set over the dunes of the Sahara: Morocco as a couple offers magical moments and an intimacy that few destinations can match.
To experience as a duo:
- stay in a luxury riad with hammam spa
- night under the stars in the dunes
- fine-dining dinner on the rooftops of Marrakech
Trip to Morocco with friends – culture, adventure and feasting

Sharing a mechoui in a riad, haggling in the souks and laughing over a mint tea: that’s the essence of Morocco with friends.
Not to be missed:
- imperial cities tour in a private van
- Sahara Desert excursion and bivouac
- evenings out and restaurants in Marrakech
Practical tips for your trip to Morocco
Marrakech’s Jemaa el-Fna square is listed by UNESCO not for its buildings, but as a “Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity” — a distinction unique in the world. Every evening, storytellers, fire-eaters, Gnawa musicians and jugglers put on the greatest free live show on the planet.
The currency is the Moroccan dirham (MAD). Bank cards are accepted in major hotels and restaurants, but cash is still essential in the souks, for taxis and in small shops. ATMs are widespread in all cities.
The official languages are Arabic and Amazigh (Berber). French is very widely spoken in administration, tourism and trade. French-speaking travellers will have no difficulty making themselves understood in cities, hotels, restaurants and travel agencies.
Morocco uses type C and E plugs — the same as in France, Belgium and Luxembourg. No adapter is required for European travellers. The voltage is 220V, identical to that used in Europe.
Morocco is generally a safe destination and very accustomed to international tourism. The usual precautions apply: stay vigilant in very busy medinas, don’t leave valuables on display, and check the latest embassy recommendations before departure. Tourist areas are well secured.
Morocco is very well served from Luxembourg:
- Direct flights Luxembourg–Marrakech available depending on the season
- Fast connections via Paris (Air France), Brussels (Brussels Airlines) or Amsterdam (KLM)
- Total duration: 3 to 5 hours depending on the route and destination (Marrakech, Fez, Casablanca, Agadir)
Getting around is mainly done by taxi (small taxis within cities, grand taxis between cities) and by train (ONCF) between the major cities (Casablanca, Rabat, Fez, Marrakech). For tours in the south and the desert, a 4×4 vehicle with a driver-guide is recommended. Car rental is also very convenient.
No visa is required for Luxembourg nationals (and Europeans in general) — a stay of up to 90 days is possible with a valid passport. Vaccinations are not mandatory but recommended:
- Hepatitis A and keeping basic vaccinations up to date
- Hygiene precautions: bottled water, be careful with raw vegetables in small restaurants

FAQ: the most useful questions for planning your trip to Morocco
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the best times to visit Morocco. Temperatures are pleasant in the imperial cities, the landscapes are green, and crowds are moderate. Summer is ideal for the Atlantic coast but very hot inland (Marrakech, Fez, 37–40°C).
Recommended duration depending on your itinerary:
- 4 to 5 days: city break in Marrakech or Fez, the essentials of one city
- 7 to 8 days: imperial cities tour (Marrakech, Fez, Chefchaouen)
- 10 to 14 days: complete tour with the Sahara Desert and the Atlantic coast
No, Luxembourg citizens do not need a visa for Morocco for stays of up to 90 days. A valid passport or identity card is sufficient. This easy access makes Morocco one of the simplest destinations to organize from Luxembourg.
The four imperial cities are must-sees: Marrakech for its unique atmosphere, Fez for its UNESCO-listed medieval medina, Meknes for its ramparts and proximity to Volubilis, Rabat for its blend of modernity and heritage. Chefchaouen and Essaouira are ideal additions to a Moroccan itinerary.
The main gateway to the desert is Merzouga and the dunes of Erg Chebbi. It can be reached from Fez (6h) or Marrakech (8h) by car or 4×4. It is recommended to spend at least one night camping in the dunes. Most tour operators offer itineraries combining imperial cities + desert in 7 to 10 days.
Morocco is an affordable destination with excellent value for money:
- flight from Luxembourg: €100 to €400 depending on the season and the airport
- charming riad: €80 to €200 per night in a double room
- quality restaurant: €15 to €40 per person
- 7-day all-inclusive organized tour: from €700/person
The rail network (ONCF) is excellent between the major cities (Casablanca, Rabat, Fez, Marrakech). For tours in the South and desert excursions, a 4×4 vehicle with a driver-guide is optimal. Taxis (small taxis in cities, grand taxis between cities) are economical. Car rental is suitable for independent travelers.
Yes, Morocco is an excellent family destination. Children are very welcome in this country where hospitality is a strong cultural value. Seaside resorts in Agadir, camel rides in the Sahara, riads with pools in Marrakech, and discovering the souks are experiences that leave a lasting impression on children.
Moroccan cuisine is one of the most refined in the world. Must-tries: tajine of lamb with prunes or preserved lemon, couscous with seven vegetables, pastilla (sweet-and-savory flaky pie), harira (spiced soup), mechoui (roast lamb) and honey pastries. Be sure to enjoy it with sweet mint tea.
Yes, a 7-day Marrakech–Fez–Chefchaouen itinerary is entirely doable and very popular. Ideal pace: 2 nights in Marrakech, 2 nights in Fez, 1 night in Chefchaouen and return. It is possible to add Meknes and Volubilis as a day trip from Fez. For a complete tour including the desert, allow 10 to 12 days.
Morocco is a moderate Muslim country and welcoming to tourists. A few tips: cover your shoulders and knees when visiting mosques and religious sites, opt for more modest clothing in traditional medinas and rural areas. Seaside resorts (Agadir, Essaouira) are more relaxed, and swimwear is perfectly acceptable there.
