Planning your trip to Morocco and not sure what to pack? You’re not alone! Morocco’s climate is diverse — from snowy mountains to hot deserts — and local customs make dressing modestly a smart (and respectful) choice. Here’s a complete guide on what to wear in Morocco to stay comfortable and stylish year-round.

☀️ What to Wear in Morocco in Summer (June–August)

  • Light, breathable fabrics (cotton, linen)
  • Loose-fitting tops and long skirts or trousers
  • Hats and sunglasses — the sun is strong!
  • Closed-toe shoes or sandals for walking in medinas

🍂 Fall (September–November): Layer Up

The weather cools down a bit, especially in the evenings. Bring:

  • Light jacket or cardigan
  • Jeans or longer pants
  • Scarves – great for style and sun protection

❄️ Winter (December–February): Cold Nights, Warm Days

Don’t be surprised — Morocco can get chilly! Especially in the desert and mountains.

  • Warm jacket or fleece for nights
  • Layered clothing for flexibility
  • Boots or closed shoes

🌸 Spring (March–May): Best Time to Travel

Comfortable weather means you can pack light but still cover up:

  • Flowy dresses, long sleeves, or tunics
  • Neutral colors for desert trips
  • Light scarf for sun/wind

👗 Local Customs: Dress Modestly and Respectfully

Morocco is a Muslim country, and while tourists have freedom, it’s respectful to dress modestly:

  • Cover shoulders and knees
  • Swimsuits only at pools or beaches
  • Women: A scarf is not required but can be handy
  • Men: T-shirts and long shorts or pants are fine

  • Leave room for local souvenirs (you’ll want to shop!)
