Traveller notes on Ouarzazate in April
Notes from nearby Marrakesh (132 km away)
Ouarzazate doesn't have its own notes for April yet — these are about Marrakesh, close enough to share the season.
A Morocco-based blogger named Malika calls April the true start of Marrakech's peak season — blissful temperatures, she says, but a medina that gets genuinely crowded and pricier to match. Her practical read: escape the crowds with a day trip outside the city rather than fighting the Jemaa el-Fnaa rush.
April is the last comfortable month before the furnace. Mornings in the medina are cool, afternoons hit the high 20s, and the Atlas still has snow on it from the Kasbah rooftops. May onward I'd only go with a pool.
