What temperatures can we expect?
At the turn of the year, we will prepare for mild days and cold nights. These are historical December–January averages, not a forecast for 27 Dec 2026–7 Jan 2027.
| Place | Day | Night |
|---|---|---|
| Marrakesz | 19–20°C | 6–7°C |
| Fez | 16–17°C | 4–5°C |
| Essaouira | 18–19°C | 11–13°C |
Secondary climate estimates for Merzouga suggest about 19–20°C by day and 6–7°C at night, but these are not campsite measurements; nights may be much colder. In the Atlas, conditions depend on elevation: prepare for frost, possible snow and changing road conditions. Pack a warm jacket, layers and wind protection.

Reviews from our trips to Morocco and India.
Visiting Morocco with Jola and My Magic Tour is a guaranteed trip of a lifetime! Her love for Morocco and fascination with the country translates into the organisation of the trip at every step. Above all, the trip offers a variety of attractions - from beautiful viewpoints such as the Ouzoud waterfalls or Timlain Dunes, to unforgettable experiences such as a caravan in the Agafay desert, a hammam ritual or cooking Moroccan tagine, ending with moments of emotion at stunning sunsets or listening to guitar playing late into the night. The constant presence of the local guide, his helpfulness and care made shopping in the souks endless, and everyone knew where to go for the highest quality oils, herbs or dresses - without overpaying. A highlight was staying in a traditional, beautiful riad and tasting meals in various restaurants, from exclusive venues to street eateries. A trip with Jola to Morocco is - beyond the traditional sightseeing of Agadir and Marrakech - a full immersion in Moroccan culture, tradition and everyday life. The smiles of Moroccans and their kindness make it easy to fall in love with this country. If you are looking for a journey where a smile will be on your face every day - travel with My Magic Tour. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

I went alone and came back with a new group of friends. Jola takes care of every detail, and the atmosphere in the group is so warm that from the very first day I felt like I was among friends.

Finally a trip where I didn't have to organise anything. Hotels, guides, meals - everything buttoned up to the last detail. And yet the programme was flexible and full of surprises.
