Weather in Morocco in August By Morocco Family Vacation
When I first planned our summer trip to Morocco in August, I had mixed feelings. I knew Morocco was hot in the summer, but I wasn’t sure how my kids would handle the heat. Traveling with two children my 7-year-old and 10-year-old means considering naps, hydration, sun protection, and activity pacing more than anything else.
