What to Wear in Morocco: A Traveler’s Guide for Every Season
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
🎒 Packing Tips
- Pack layers — Morocco’s weather can change fast
- Don’t forget a power adapter and sunscreen
- Leave room for local souvenirs (you’ll want to shop!)
