What to wear in Morocco during winter - packing essentials

Morocco is a land of contrasts, and winter brings a mix of warm sunny days and chilly nights. To help you enjoy your trip, here is our ultimate packing guide.

The temperature changes drastically. A sunny afternoon can quickly drop to 5°C after sunset.

What to pack: T-shirts, fleece, and a light down jacket.

If you are heading to the Sahara Desert, be prepared for freezing nights! The sand dunes get very cold once the sun sets.

For the Cities: Comfortable walking shoes are a must for the Medinas.
