Moroccan Climate

Northern Morocco has an amazing climate. Temperatures are mild all year round; in summer the average temperature is: 30C and in Winter temperatures tend not to drop lower than 10C. Morocco has more than 320 days of sunshine a year.

Food

Food is very cheap especially fruit and vegetables, most of which are home grown. It is very affordable to eat out on a daily basis a typical meal for two in a good Moroccan restaurant will cost as little as £7 which is half the price of a similar meal in the UK.

Tap water in Morocco is safe to drink, yet most foreigners tend to buy bottled water. However, in the mountain town of Chefchaouen the water is very clean and comes directly from the mountain spring so tap water there is good to drink.
