If you are going to come to Morocco in November, then you will certainly come across a real local culture, a unique atmosphere of this country, which has a rich history and traditions. What you should definitely see in Morocco this month, what kind of weather awaits travelers, what rest should you expect? We will describe this in detail below.
Weather in Morocco in November
The country's territory includes two coasts (the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean), but it is unlikely that you can enjoy their waters at this time of year. In Morocco, it is getting colder in November, but the local climate is not like winter in our understanding. Of course, there is no snow and blizzard, but the sun's rays shine and a light breeze blows.
These lands are part of the Mediterranean climate, because even in November there is warm weather. Average temperature indicators reach from 19 to 23 degrees. However, be prepared for the unexpected. In Morocco, there may be sharp jumps in temperature during the day (especially starting in November). Even at noon, travelers and locals put on light dresses, and in the morning and in the evenings they would have to change clothes.
The reason for the differences is that at this time of the day the air masses do not warm up and cool down, and even more so under the influence of winds (which blow more and more in November). According to experts in the field of meteorology, after sunset, on average, there can be from 9 to 12 degrees of heat here. In addition, this month it rains more often.
Beach holiday
You should not go to Morocco at this time of year in order to relax on the beach in the classical sense. In practice, according to tourists' reviews, only a real daredevil can swim in November. Average water temperature is not more than nineteen degrees of heat. This is characteristic of the coast in Rabat, Agadir, Ay-Suweira (that is, on the Atlantic coast), as well as near Tangier, which belongs to the Mediterranean.
With Casablanca in this regard, it is still worse - no more than seventeen degrees. The most popular resort area among tourists is the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, which are characterized by a restless wave at any time of the year (especially in autumn and winter), which is why even the most seasoned visitors do not swim here.
You can maximum - plunge and jump in the water. But the surfer will find something for himself here, as this is the culmination of the wave season. However, you can only engage in this type of sea sport by wearing a wetsuit. Both for an amateur or even a beginner, and for an avid surfer, the locations of Tamarhat and Tagazut are suitable.
Attractions and sightseeing trips
The remains of ancient cities, the bustling life of bazaars, a trip to the Berbers in the desert - this you will definitely remember in Morocco in November. Traveler reviews indicate that such a pastime really helps to feel the Arab spirit and oriental flavor.
November is ideal for this because of the moderate temperature and not so scorching solar is better, because of which you can be more in open spaces. But be careful, because the sunset here is quite early, and after it instantly freezes.
Those who love adrenaline can take a jeep safari to the desert. Western Sahara is worth seeing, until it finally gets colder. Tourists who like to watch nature can also book a jeep tour in the direction of the Massa Valley. This is a picturesque oasis where real pink flamingos live. Well, if you want to relax and be in a leisurely relaxed atmosphere, hammams are waiting for you.
Festivals and Celebrations in November
November in the country is marked by two public holidays. Firstly, on the sixth, a celebration of the memory of the green procession takes place. In 1975, the city of Torfaya was the place where a peaceful march was held to bring back "Moroccan Sahara."
You should also remember about the second holiday - Morocco Independence Day (18th). The celebration includes a street parade and a procession, and in the evening tourists can watch the spectacular fireworks. One way or another, in any Moroccan city, November days are associated with various events relating to culture and art. For example, Marrakech in November is the venue of the film festival, where a large number of celebrities come.
Cost of vacation in Morocco in the fall
Holidays in Morocco in November will cost you much cheaper compared to high season prices. Most hotels in resorts are only half-populated, so the cost is often reduced. For example, Agadir for two on a tour package in a four-star hotel will cost cheaper (almost a quarter) when compared with August prices.
Come to Morocco in November if you are interested in historical and cultural attractions, the unique flavor and atmosphere of this country.
