The best time to visit Tangier is May, June, and September. May delivers 23°C (73°F), 10 hours of daily sun, and only 37mm of rain. June is the driest month alongside July at 14mm, with 26°C (79°F) highs and 11 hours of sun. September stays warm at 27°C (81°F) with low rain and fewer tourists than July-August. These three months balance comfortable weather, manageable crowds, and moderate hotel rates.
Best Time to Visit Tangier for Good Weather
July and August offer Tangier’s warmest weather at 29°C (84°F) with virtually zero rain (2-3mm) and sea temperatures at 23°C (73°F). The Atlantic breeze moderates the heat, keeping Tangier 10-15°C cooler than Marrakech or Fes during the same months. If you want guaranteed sun for the beach, these are the months. Check the Tangier weather by month guide for detailed monthly data.
Best Time to Visit Tangier for Lower Prices
January, February, and November offer Tangier’s lowest hotel rates, typically 40-50% below July-August peaks. A riad in the medina costs about 50-70 EUR in January versus 100-140 EUR in August. November is the wettest month (135mm) but you can find excellent deals on flights and accommodation. March and October are shoulder months with moderate pricing and acceptable weather.
Months to Avoid in Tangier
November and December are the wettest months (135mm and 130mm). The medina’s steep, narrow alleys become slippery and uncomfortable for exploration. The July-August peak brings the largest crowds and highest prices, though Tangier never reaches the overtourism levels of Marrakech. Ramadan (dates shift annually) affects Tangier less than inland cities, but many cafes and restaurants close or reduce hours during daylight. Check the Tangier events calendar for date-specific advice.
