- Casablanca-Settat14 citiesMorocco's most populous region, Casablanca-Settat stretches along the Atlantic coast. Its oceanic climate brings mild, humid summers and temperate winters, while the Settat hinterland sees more continental swings.
- Rabat-Salé-Kénitra11 citiesThe country's administrative heart, Rabat-Salé-Kénitra fronts the Atlantic and enjoys a Mediterranean climate moderated by the ocean. The fertile Gharb plains, watered by the Sebou river, make it an agricultural hub with mild, rainy winters and sunny summers.
- Marrakesh-Safi6 citiesMarrakesh-Safi blends the Atlantic shoreline of Safi and Essaouira with the arid Haouz plains at the foot of the High Atlas. The interior sees hot, dry summers, while the coast stays cooled by trade winds and ocean moisture.
- Fez-Meknes6 citiesIn the northern interior, Fez-Meknes ranges from the Saïss plains to the heights of the Middle Atlas. Its continental climate brings hot summers and cold winters, with snowfall in the highlands of Ifrane, nicknamed Morocco's "little Switzerland".
- Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima12 citiesAt Morocco's northern tip, Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima opens onto both the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, divided by the Strait of Gibraltar. The Rif mountains create a humid Mediterranean climate, among the rainiest in the country, with mild, green winters.
- Souss-Massa7 citiesAround Agadir, Souss-Massa unrolls a long Atlantic coast that is sunny year-round, sheltered by the Anti-Atlas and High Atlas ranges. Its semi-arid climate and mild winters make it a seaside destination, while the Souss plain sustains intensive farming.
- The Oriental8 citiesIn the east along the Algerian border, the Oriental pairs a narrow Mediterranean front around Nador with vast steppes and semi-desert plateaus. The climate is arid to continental, with very hot summers inland and cold winters on the high plains.
- Beni Mellal-Khenifra8 citiesIn central Morocco, Beni Mellal-Khenifra backs onto the Middle and High Atlas, overlooking the fertile Tadla plain. Snow-capped peaks in winter feed springs and rivers, creating a contrast between cool mountains and plains with hot, dry summers.
- Drâa-Tafilalet6 citiesIn the southeast, Drâa-Tafilalet is the land of oases and desert gateways, from the kasbahs of Ouarzazate to the dunes of Zagora. Its Saharan climate means scorching days and cool nights, with wide swings and an aridity softened by the Drâa and Ziz valleys.
- Guelmim-Oued Noun3 citiesNicknamed the "gateway to the desert", Guelmim-Oued Noun marks the transition between the Anti-Atlas and the Sahara, south of Souss-Massa. Its hot, arid climate is softened along the Atlantic coast, while the interior sometimes feels the dry, scorching chergui wind.
- Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra4 citiesIn the Saharan south, Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra borders the Atlantic across a vast desert expanse. The cold Canary current tempers the coast and keeps it humid, while the interior stays very dry, swept by winds and marked by scant rainfall.
- Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab1 cityMorocco's southernmost region, Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab juts into the Atlantic on a long desert peninsula. The cold Canary current creates a mild, windy microclimate year-round, beloved by kitesurfers, in contrast with the extreme aridity of the Saharan hinterland.
