Fes
Year Round
As with many destinations the weather usually determines the best time to travel to Morocco. During the winter months, from November to March, it can get quite cold and rainy especially in the Atlas mountains. The peak tourist season in Morocco is July and August. If you want to avoid the crowds and the heat, travel before or after this time. If you are traveling during these months then it is best to make arrangements in advance especially along the coasts. It's hot and sunny for most of the year in Morocco. During the peak summer months it gets uncomfortably hot especially in Marrakech, Fes and southwest Morocco, towards the desert. Casablanca, Rabat and Essaouira are a bit more comfortable in the peak of summer because they benefit from a cooler ocean breeze. Marrakech is hot during the summer and cool in the winter. The best time to visit Marrakech is in the spring and autumn with abundant sunshine during the day and cooler nights to enjoy those roof top restaurants overlooking the Djemma el-Fna. If you're planning a trip to the Sahara Desert it's best to hop on a camel during the fall or early spring.

Local Info
Fez was founded by Moulay Indriss II at the end of the 8th century, also known as the first Islamic capital of Morocco, and was the host of the very first Moroccan dynasty. Fez has a maze of stone, marble and plaster surrounded by orchards. An aura of 1001 Arabian nights linger here as the spiritual centre of Morocco. The old town lives in the shadow of the minarets, sprawling outwards from the mosque like a spider web of alleys, houses and shops. From the back street workshops, potters, charcoal burners, goldsmiths and weavers still practice their ancient trades for busy shops and stores in the crowded streets. Well over 1000 years old, the Jewish quarter or Mellah, has long had a reputation for producing some of the finest ironwork in the country. Whilst in the suburb of the leather tanners the ancient methods and techniques are still used today to treat and dye hides.
