Easter Week in Morocco is a great time to explore the diverse landscapes and rich culture,
Spending Easter week in Morocco is a great idea because the weather is usually perfect for exploring the country during spring. You can take a break from your daily routine and travel around Morocco, including the stunning desert. We will customize a trip to Morocco based on your preferences, including visits to the Sahara desert and the imperial cities of Marrakech, Fez, Meknes, and Rabat. You’ll have the opportunity to experience the unique environment, go on adventures through the dunes and tracks, and enjoy magical nights under the starry sky.
Morocco is an ideal destination for Easter Week 2025, offering perfect spring weather, rich cultural experiences, and diverse landscapes. From the bustling souks of Marrakech to the serene Sahara Desert, Morocco provides a unique blend of adventure and relaxation. Enjoy the warm hospitality, explore historical cities, and create unforgettable memories in this enchanting country.
In 2025, Holy Week will be from Sunday, April 13, through Monday, April 21 (Easter Monday). This falls in the middle of spring when the weather is comfortable and warm across the country. In mid-April, Marrakech will have temperatures ranging from a low of 13°C to a high of 25°C. The average amount of rainfall also decreases, and by the end of April, there is a 7–13% lower chance of rain compared to the beginning of the month.
During Easter Week, although not widely celebrated in Morocco, the country offers a unique glimpse into its daily life and traditions. The bustling souks, historical sites, and local customs make it a memorable experience.
During Easter, there are more flights and ferries between Spain and Morocco. This gives you more options for planning your arrival and departure. You can start in one place and end in another, or go in the morning or afternoon, depending on what you prefer. Keep in mind that you can reach Tangier by boat or plane, and you can also fly to Marrakech, Casablanca, and Fes.
We offer tailor-made tours that fit your preferences, whether you want to explore the Sahara Desert, visit the imperial cities, or enjoy coastal towns.
Start your journey in Marrakech, then head to the Sahara for an unforgettable experience. Enjoy camel rides, desert camping, and breathtaking sunsets.
