If you\u2019re moving around Morocco in winter, you\u2019ll probably experience a range of temperatures – so be sure to check the forecast before you go. We recommend packing for both hot and cold weather. You\u2019ll need t-shirts, hats and sunglasses during the day, but jackets and warm layers in the evening. You can even bring a waterproof coat in case of rain, and be sure to bring plenty of sunscreen.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Winter in Morocco is the very best time to explore the Sahara Desert. It\u2019s much cooler than the blazing summer months, and you\u2019ll still get clear skies during the day. If you\u2019re sensitive to the heat, December is the perfect month to visit the Sahara.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When you travel Morocco with Trafalgar, we\u2019ll climb aboard a jeep and travel to the spectacular sand dunes of the Sahara. You\u2019ll have the chance to get some magical photos, plus you\u2019ll get to meet some of the local Berber tribesmen. You can even try out the traditional headdress that protects them from the elements of the desert.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
