All Months
October through March offers perfect weather—sunny days around 25°C and cool nights. This is peak season, so book accommodation early. The date harvest happens in late summer, but temperatures soar above 40°C.
Friday mornings bring the famous goat market, worth timing your visit around. Ramadan sees different rhythms—restaurants close during daylight hours but the evening iftar atmosphere is magical. Avoid July and August unless you enjoy furnace-like heat.
