What to Wear in Marrakech

Morocco

Marrakech is North African desert-edge climate — May through August runs 29-38°C / 84-100°F with extremely low rainfall (1-2 rain days a month). The dressing rule: lightweight cotton or linen in light colors (white, cream, sand, soft sage), modest cuts especially in the medina (the old walled city) and at religious sites (most mosques in Morocco do not allow non-Muslims to enter, but Koutoubia's exterior plaza requires knees and shoulders covered as a sign of respect). Souk navigation rewards crossbody bags worn diagonally; pickpocketing is documented in Jemaa el-Fnaa and the medina. The Moroccan style register is layered and earth-toned: kaftans, structured trousers, leather babouches.
