What you gain in November
- ↑November is deeply underrated: 19.8°C is ideal for medina walking, rain is mostly brief, and the tourist volume drops significantly from October. The riads are quiet, the souk sellers are not overwhelmed, and the pace of the medina returns to something approaching its genuine daily rhythm.
- ↑The crafts souks are at their most authentic in November: the hammered copper lamps of the Seffarine souq, the hand-knotted carpets of the Rabat-school weavers, and the ceramic tile work of the potters' quarter outside Bab Chems are all best browsed without the April-May pressure of guided tour groups competing for space.
- ↑Riad accommodation drops from October's moderate pricing: some of the finest traditional houses in Fez el-Bali — Riad Fes, Dar Bensouda, Riad Laaroussa — are bookable at genuine value compared to their spring pricing.
What you sacrifice
- ↓November rain (57mm) is the most significant since March: the medina's lack of formal drainage means heavy rain events create real access difficulties in some of the lower-lying alleyways around the tannery quarter.
- ↓Shorter days reduce the golden-hour light window: sunset in November is before 6pm, and the medina's most atmospheric light comes only in the brief afternoon window before dusk.
