What you gain in July

  • Lowest prices of the year — extraordinary value for pool-based holidays
  • Genuinely zero rain: the sky is reliably cloudless day after day
  • Night market on Djemaa el-Fna: the square comes alive after 21:00 when heat eases

What you sacrifice

  • 36°C average high — temperatures reaching 42–45°C are not uncommon
  • Daytime outdoor activity is medically inadvisable between 11:00 and 18:00
  • Most international tourism has departed: the city is quieter than any other month, for good reason
