Welcome to the official Morocco time page by Morocco Joy Tours — your trusted source for real-time time zone updates across Morocco. Whether you’re about to land in Marrakech, planning a camel trek in Merzouga, or calling your hotel in Fes, knowing the current time in Morocco is essential for seamless travel.
Below is our live, beautifully styled digital Morocco clock, automatically synced with the Africa/Casablanca time zone (GMT+1). You can check this page anytime to see what time it is in Morocco right now — accurate, updated, and always available.
🌍 What Time Zone Does Morocco Use?
Morocco operates on GMT+1 and follows the Africa/Casablanca time zone. However, during the holy month of Ramadan, Morocco temporarily shifts back to GMT (UTC+0) as part of its religious observance. Once Ramadan ends, it reverts to GMT+1.
These changes impact:
✈️ Airport and train schedules
📆 Business hours
🕌 Prayer and cultural events
🧭 Travel itineraries
That’s why we recommend checking the Morocco time now regularly — especially when your plans include early departures or multi-city tours.
🧭 Why Is Knowing Morocco Time Important for Travelers?
Time is everything when you’re exploring a vibrant country like Morocco. Whether you’re booking a private tour or navigating a bustling souk, syncing with local Morocco time helps you:
✅ Catch flights, transfers, or train connections
✅ Coordinate your tour pickup times across cities
✅ Call ahead to hotels, guides, or riads
✅ Respect local customs, prayer times, and events
✅ Avoid scheduling surprises during Ramadan
At Morocco Joy Tours, our guides and travel planners ensure your schedule is always aligned with the local clock — so you can focus on enjoying the journey.
🕌 Does Morocco Use Daylight Saving Time?
Yes, but with a twist.
Morocco uses a modified daylight saving time policy:
🟠 GMT+1 during most of the year
🔵 Back to GMT during Ramadan only
This pause ensures alignment with spiritual and cultural practices. It’s important for travelers to stay informed — especially if you’re joining a morning excursion, a desert sunrise tour, or arriving late at night.
Our team always factors in DST changes when building your custom itinerary.
