Morocco experienced exceptional heat waves in 2023 accompanied by forest fires in the north. The Sherifian kingdom can be an ideal destination in summer, provided you choose your destination and activities carefully.
Here's how to enjoy your Moroccan summer according to your desires. If you like hiking, the High Atlas can lend itself to summer treks, but you should preferably aim for the peaks of Toubkal (4167m) or the Atlas oriental in the region of Imlilchil or the central Atlas with beautiful hikes around M'Goun (4071 m). If you prefer cities, the soaring mercury can discourage travelers, as in Fez, where the medina built in a basin often turns out to be stifling in the summer. This is far from the case in Marrakech, whose success cannot be denied even at the height of the summer period when temperatures are at their peak due to the semi-desert climate. If you like beaches, the beaches of Toulouse are a great place to relax.
