Morocco's Atlantic coast strings Casablanca's Hassan II Mosque on the harbour, the medieval port of Essaouira's gull-haunted ramparts, Rabat's UNESCO Kasbah of the Udayas, and Asilah's painted-mural medina near Tangier.

When to Visit
Apr-Jun
Atlantic coast pleasant before summer heat, Essaouira Gnaoua World Music Festival in late June, and the medina walking comfortable across Rabat and Casablanca.
Jul-Aug
Casablanca and Rabat hit 30°C but Essaouira's wind keeps it 5°C cooler year-round, and the Atlantic surf at Imsouane and Taghazout running consistent swells.
Sep-Oct
Sea at warmest, Essaouira at peak for Atlantic seafood, and the Asilah Cultural Festival in mid-July aside, autumn brings the coast's best weather.
Nov-Mar
Mild Atlantic winter around 16°C, Essaouira surf at peak Atlantic swell, and Casablanca's Hassan II Mosque interior tours accessible without summer crowds.
