Why visit Morocco in September? Ideal weather, fewer tourists, and exclusive horseback treks. Discover the charm of a perfect month to visit.
"September is the month when horse and rider begin to listen to each other again. Where every step in the sand is an invitation to slow down."
September is more than just the turn of a calendar page—in Morocco, it’s a shift in soul. The crowds thin out, the heat softens, and the ocean stretches calmly beneath clear skies. After the intensity of summer, September arrives like a breath of fresh air: the sun gentler, the air more breathable, the streets more peaceful.
In September, the colors return vivid—but without glare. The medinas quiet down, the markets regain their rhythm, and people take more time to tell their stories. Prices drop, but hospitality remains high. It feels as though the country reopens, slowly, for those who know how to truly observe.
For those who love slow travel, far from the crowds, it’s the perfect month. And for anyone dreaming of discovering Morocco on horseback, this is when everything begins again.
The Climate: Sweetness After Summer
Those who know Essaouira already understand—here, the heat is never extreme. But in September, everything becomes even more harmonious. The wind softens, daytime temperatures settle between 25–28°C, and the evenings cool down gracefully.
It’s no longer the season of “enduring the sun,” but one of truly living outdoors: long beach walks, breakfast on the terrace, and entire days in the saddle without fatigue or strain.
Fewer Tourists, More Authenticity
September in Morocco is the month when doors truly reopen. Shops, guides, and guesthouses breathe again after the high season and welcome travelers with genuine attention.
This is the time when you can talk to people, hear real stories, walk into an Amazigh home and feel like a guest—not a client. Perfect for those who love meaningful travel, for those seeking something deeper than a typical vacation.
It’s not a month for postcards—it’s a month to be lived.
Why September Is the Perfect Month (Even If You Don’t Ride)
Even if you’re not an experienced rider, Morocco in September offers unforgettable moments. Let yourself be rocked by a camel ride at sunset, explore the village of Diabat among ruins and legends, or simply breathe in an air that smells of renewal and peace.
If you're looking for a Morocco that speaks to you directly, that welcomes you without filters, that allows you to see and feel the country in its everyday truth—September is waiting for you.
The Ideal Season for Equestrian Tourism
Starting in the second week of September, the Ranch de Diabat officially opens the season of long-distance horseback treks. For us, it’s more than just a new beginning—it’s a ritual. Every year, September rekindles the trails and stirs up emotions once more.
