"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 isn't just a change of month: in Morocco it's a change of soul.
The streets are emptying, the heat is becoming gentler, the ocean lies calm beneath clear skies. After the intensity of summer, September arrives like a respite: the sun is softer, the air is more breathable, the streets are quieter.
In September, the colors return vividly but without dazzling. The medinas empty a little, the markets pick up pace, and people have more time to talk about themselves. Prices drop, but hospitality remains high. It's as if the country is slowly reopening to those who know how to observe.
For those who enjoy a leisurely journey, away from the crowds, it's the perfect month. And for those who dream of experiencing Morocco on horseback, it's the time when everything begins anew.
The climate: sweetness after summer
Anyone who knows Essaouira knows: the heat here is never extreme. But in September, everything becomes even more harmonious.
The wind is becoming lighter, temperatures fluctuate around 25-28 degrees during the day, and the evenings are gracefully cooling down.
It's no longer the season of "resisting the sun," but of living outdoors without a care in the world: walks on the beach, breakfasts on the terrace, entire days in the saddle without a trace of fatigue.
Fewer tourists, more authenticity
September in Morocco is the month when doors truly reopen. Shops, guides, and accommodations breathe new life after the summer peak, and they dedicate themselves to those who intend to travel.
It's the moment when you can talk to people, listen to real stories, enter an Amazigh home and feel like a guest, not a customer.
Perfect for those who love to travel in depth, for those looking for something more than just a vacation.
It's not a picture-perfect month. It's a month to be lived.
Why September is the perfect month (even if you don't ride a horse)
Even if you're not an experienced rider, Morocco in September offers unforgettable moments.
You can let yourself be lulled by a camel ride at sunset, explore the village of Diabat among ruins and legends, or simply breathe deeply in the air that smells of rebirth and tranquility.
If you're looking for a Morocco that truly speaks to you, that welcomes you without filters, that allows you to see and feel the country in its everyday truth, September awaits you.
