About Smara

Smara, Western Sahara 🏜️ is a remote desert city with a unique cultural feel and very limited infrastructure. For digital nomads, it’s best suited to those seeking quiet, off-grid experiences rather than a strong work setup. Expect basic amenities, uncertain internet, and few coworking options. Great for adventure, not ideal for reliable remote work. 🌍💻
