Spring and autumn are the ideal times for this getaway, with monthly averages ranging between 17 and 25 ° C and fewer tourists than in high season. Summer is hot in the desert of Agafay and the alleys of Marrakech, with highs of 37 ° C, but the hikes in the foothills of the Atlas are all the more refreshing. A real breath of fresh air! Winter promises to be very chilly in the mountains, although the views of the snow-capped peaks are worth the trip.

Upon arrival in Marrakech, settle into your riad and take some time to unwind. You'll have a free afternoon to explore the enchanting, winding streets of this magical city. Marrakech is surrounded by striking red and ochre walls and offers a truly unique living spectacle where local folklore and people are staged in a medieval setting. The city is home to an exceptional cultural heritage, with monuments of great wealth and refined architecture waiting to be discovered.
