When to go
March to May and October to November are the sweet spots almost everywhere. Summer is for the coast, winter for the desert by day. Pick a month.
Ramadan 2026 and 2027
- 2026: mid-February to mid-March (past). Eid al-Adha was 27 May 2026.
- 2027: expected about 8 February to 9 March. Eid al-Fitr about 10 March 2027.
- Eid al-Adha 2027: expected about 16 May. Transport is packed for days before, and many shops close for two or three days.
- Visiting in Ramadan? Yes: hotels and tourist restaurants serve as usual and the evenings are special. Away from the tourist areas, lunch is harder to find.
- Clock: Morocco has been on GMT all year since 20 September 2026, so the clocks no longer change for Ramadan.
- Islamic dates follow the moon: Morocco confirms each one the evening before, so dates can move by a day.
