How The Month Feels
April gives Ouarzazate a clear, sunlit rhythm, with Midi Hemma and Sidi Outhman easiest to frame in long daylight. By late afternoon, Taourirt Kasbah feels like the natural place to slow down.
What To Lock In Early
Reserve Taourirt Kasbah and Le Musée Régional de la Résistance et de l'Armée de Liberation first, then build the outdoor stops around them. Leave Midi Hemma, Sidi Outhman, and Sidi Dâoûd open until the day before, when the weather window is clear.
How to do it
Plan cue
Book Taourirt Kasbah first if you want the clearest April day for interiors and photos, then place the museums around it.
Plan cue
Plan Midi Hemma, Sidi Outhman, and Sidi Dâoûd for the same daylight block, since April’s 12.2 sunshine hours support a full outdoor circuit.
Plan cue
Use Le Musée Régional de la Résistance et de l'Armée de Liberation as your late-day anchor when the temperature starts dropping toward 11.6°C.
