Planning a trip to Morocco in November? It is one of the best months of the year: the summer heat is gone, the days are sunny and warm, and the desert is pleasant both day and night. Prices are also lower than at Christmas. This guide explains the weather, what to do, what to pack and which private tours fit best.
Quick answer: November is ideal for a desert tour. Days are around 20 to 23 °C in Marrakech and the Sahara, and nights are cool but comfortable. Our most popular choice this month is the 3 day tour from Marrakech, or the 4 day tour for a slower pace.
