Marrakech in July

Peak heat, a slower itinerary.

The short answer

July is one of the weakest months in Marrakech.

July is one of Marrakech’s least comfortable months for long outdoor sightseeing, with average daily highs of 38°C. Lower crowd pressure and the strongest supplied price score do not remove the need to plan around the heat.
