What to pack for Morocco in the winter

When packing for winter in Morocco, it is important to consider the varying temperatures across the country.

In the mountainous regions, temperatures can drop significantly, so bringing warm layers is essential. This could include a mix of long-sleeve shirts, sweaters, and a heavy coat or insulated jacket.

In the cities and coastal areas, the weather may be milder during the day, but can still get chilly at night. Lightweight sweaters and long-sleeve shirts are versatile options for layering. It's also a good idea to pack a mix of clothing suitable for both urban and outdoor activities, including comfortable walking shoes, as well as more modest clothing for visits to religious sites.

And don't forget a scarf or shawl for both warmth and for covering up if needed.

In the winter, Morocco experiences a wide range of climate conditions due to its diverse geography.

Along the coast, temperatures remain mild, generally ranging from 50-60°F, with occasional rain and fog. In the interior valleys and plains, temperatures can drop significantly, with average highs around 55°F and lows around freezing, and snowfall is not uncommon in the Atlas Mountains. In the southern desert region, temperatures can still reach highs of 70-80°F during the day, but can drop to near freezing at night.

Overall, the winter climate in Morocco is characterized by variable temperatures and weather patterns depending on the region.
