Things to Look Out For
Hammam etiquette
You'll be near-naked, scrubbed raw by a stranger with a coarse glove, and emerge a different person. Bring rubber slippers and a small tip. Twenty or thirty dirham. The full ritual runs about ninety minutes with the black soap, the rinse, the rest; book it for your second-to-last day, not your first, so you're not sore for the dunes.
The souk price game
The first number a vendor in the medina gives you is theatre. Expect to settle somewhere around a third to a half of it, and walk away at least once; the real price often follows you to the door. Have the rough sum in cash and small notes. If you genuinely don't want it, don't pick it up: handling is read as interest.
Friday rhythm
Friday is the day of prayer and the day of couscous. Many shops shutter around midday, the medinas empty during the noon prayer, and families sit down to a long lunch. Plan a slow morning and a museum or a riad afternoon rather than fighting closed doors. By evening the streets fill again.

Plan Your Timing
When to Go
The Moroccan windows are spring and autumn, March to May, then September to November. When the imperial cities are warm by day and cool by night and the desert is bearable. June to August the interior bakes: Marrakech and the Sahara push past forty degrees, and the dunes are a dawn-and-dusk affair only. December to February is cool and clear in the cities, genuinely cold in the High Atlas and at night in the desert, with snow on the passes.
