Fès in March
Great time to visit
March hits the sweet spot - warm enough for comfortable exploration but not yet crowded with peak season tourists. The weather cooperates beautifully for long walks through Fès el-Bali and outdoor dining at rooftop restaurants.
Weather
March marks the real beginning of Fès's golden season with warm, sunny days and mild nights. Rain tapers off significantly, though occasional spring showers still refresh the air. Humidity remains comfortable throughout the month.

All Months
March through May gives you perfect weather and blooming orange trees. October and November work too – warm days, cool nights, fewer crowds. Summer is brutal. We're talking 40°C heat trapped in stone corridors with no air conditioning. Winter brings rain and surprising cold. The medina's stone streets become slippery. Ramadan changes the rhythm completely – shops close during the day, but evenings come alive. Book accommodations early for the World Sacred Music Festival in June if you can handle the heat. Spring remains your best bet for comfortable exploring.
