Planning a trip to Morocco and not sure what to bring? This ultimate packing list will help you stay comfortable, respectful, and prepared—whether you're wandering through souks in Fes, camping in the Sahara, or strolling coastal towns like Essaouira.
🌦️ Consider the Seasons
Morocco’s climate varies by region and season. Here’s a quick guide:
- Spring (March–May): Mild temperatures, ideal for travel
- Summer (June–August): Very hot in inland cities and the desert
- Fall (September–November): Pleasant and less crowded
- Winter (December–February): Cold nights in mountains/desert, mild elsewhere

Morocco is a conservative country, especially outside major cities. Choose modest, breathable layers.
