All Months
March through May brings perfect weather—warm days, cool nights, and fewer crowds. The medina feels manageable, and outdoor cafés buzz with energy. Hotel rates stay reasonable, and you won't sweat through every sightseeing walk.
September through November works almost as well. The summer heat breaks, but the sea stays warm enough for swimming. October is especially sweet—clear skies, comfortable temperatures, and the city shaking off its summer lethargy.
Summer gets brutal. July and August see temperatures hitting 35°C (95°F) with crushing humidity. The medina becomes an oven, and many locals flee to the mountains. But ferry connections increase, and beach clubs come alive if you can handle the heat.
Winter brings unpredictable weather. December through February can be gloriously sunny or miserably rainy. The Atlantic winds cut through even warm clothes. But hotel rates drop by 40%, and you'll have major sights mostly to yourself.
