Agadir, the top destination

According to information gathered by Le360 from several travel agencies, Agadir is often the leading destination for Moroccans taking their holidays in September. With its mild weather during this period, the city offers a relaxing seaside getaway, whether along the Atlantic coast or within the city and its surrounding areas.

While foreign tourists also choose Agadir for their September holidays, Moroccan visitors are drawn to the city and its surrounding areas, including Sidi Ifni, to enjoy a break away from the bustle of major cities such as Rabat, Casablanca and Marrakech.

Agadir is the top destination for Moroccans in September, offering a range of tourism services and accommodation options for families and individuals looking to take a holiday during the month.

According to sources, tourism offers and accommodation prices drop significantly during this period, which comes immediately after July and August, when the cost of renting apartments and staying at some tourist accommodations in the city and surrounding areas, particularly the popular resort of Taghazout, is at its highest.

Dakhla, the second most popular September destination

Over the past four years, Dakhla has emerged as another major tourist destination in Morocco, attracting large numbers of both Moroccan and international visitors.

Like other cities in Morocco’s southern regions, Dakhla offers tourism facilities that attract hundreds of visitors in September, particularly thanks to its mild weather, which appeals to surfing enthusiasts.

With air connections from airports across Morocco, Dakhla has become one of the country’s September destinations. Visitors who have the opportunity to travel there can explore the desert dunes, enjoy the sea and sample some of the finest fish along the coast.

Northern Morocco, another popular September destination

Chefchaouen and the Mediterranean coast, particularly the mountainous areas near Al Hoceima and Jebha, are also among the destinations favored by Moroccans in September.

As the summer holiday season winds down for some visitors in Martil and M’diq, it begins for other Moroccans who prefer to take their holidays in September. Many choose Chefchaouen and its coastal areas, where some families spend their vacations as rental prices for houses and furnished apartments fall to below 300 dirhams per night, compared with rates starting at 600 dirhams per night in July and August.

Other domestic destinations also attract Moroccan travelers in September. Some, for instance, choose Ifrane for a September getaway, a month that also marks the start of the school year for many.
