Make the most of your Moroccan summer with local tips, must-do experiences, and ways to beat the heat
Summer in Tangier is something special. Think long, sunny days, fresh sea breezes, café terraces buzzing late into the night, and the sound of waves blending with the call to prayer. Whether you’re here for a relaxing escape, a cultural adventure, or a beach holiday with the family, Tangier in summer offers the perfect mix of heat, heart, and hidden gems. But it also helps to be prepared—because Moroccan summers come with their own rhythm.
What’s the Weather Like?
From June to August, expect warm to hot days (28–36°C / 82–97°F), with plenty of sunshine and cooling coastal winds. Tangier, being a port city, enjoys milder summer weather than inland Moroccan cities like Fes or Marrakech. That said—midday can still get hot, and sun protection is a must.
What you should remember to Pack
- Light, breathable clothing (linen, cotton, loose fits)
- A hat, sunglasses, and high-SPF sunscreen
- A scarf or light layer for sun or modesty in cultural spaces
- Comfortable sandals or walking shoes
- Swimwear for beaches and pools (plus flip flops for hammams)
- A refillable water bottle for staying hydrated
Pro tip: Many locals head to the beach in the late afternoon. Plan your day around the rhythm of the city—it’s cooler and more fun.
