ESSENTIALS
| Topic | Details |
|---|---|
| 💻 Internet Speed | Typical home/guesthouse fiber or fixed wireless: 20–100 Mbps download in better properties; mobile 4G often 10–40 Mbps near the coast. Reliability varies by building and provider, so always test before a long stay. |
| 💸 Currency & Banking | Moroccan dirham (MAD). Rough rate in March 2026: 1 EUR ≈ 10.8 MAD, 1 USD ≈ 9.9 MAD. ATMs are easiest in nearby Taghazout, Aourir, and Agadir; some accommodations prefer cash. Bank branches and card terminals are more common in Agadir than in Tamraght. |
| 🚰 Tap Water | Not recommended for regular drinking; use bottled or filtered water. Many villas and surf houses provide gallon bottles or dispensers. |
| 🔌 Power | 220V, 50Hz, typically Type C and Type E sockets. Power cuts are uncommon but can happen; bring a surge protector and a power bank. |
| 📶 SIM Card | Best options are Maroc Telecom, Orange Maroc, and inwi. Buy prepaid SIMs in Agadir or at local mobile shops in Aourir/Taghazout; data packages are generally affordable, with 20–50 GB packages often costing roughly 50–100 MAD depending on provider and promotions. |
| 💳 Banking for Expats | Cash is still important in Tamraght. Cards are accepted at many surf camps, villas, and some cafes, but small restaurants, taxis, and local shops often prefer cash. Revolut and Wise cards usually work at ATMs; keep a backup card because some machines cap withdrawals or fail occasionally. |
| 🛌 Accommodation | The most common options are surf hostels, guesthouses, apartments, and villas with monthly rates negotiated directly. Popular platforms include Airbnb, Booking.com, and local surf-house websites. For longer stays, negotiate on WhatsApp or in person for 10–25% discounts on monthly bookings. |
| 💳 Cashless Friendly | Partially. Upscale surf lodges and some cafes accept cards or contactless payments, but Tamraght overall is still cash-heavy. |
| 🏠 Short Term Rentals | Airbnb and Booking.com have the widest inventory in Tamraght and nearby Taghazout. Common stays include ocean-view apartments, shared surf houses, and private rooms in villas around Hay Ait Soual and the road toward Taghazout. |
| 🛏️ Budget Accommodation | Budget-friendly places often start around 150–300 MAD per night for a dorm bed or basic private room. Good-value options are often found in surf hostels and family-run guesthouses near the main road in Tamraght and the lower village slopes. |
| 🏙️ Best Area to Stay for Tourists | Stay near the Tamraght village center or along the road toward Taghazout for walkability to cafes, surf shops, and easy taxi access. If you want the most scenic setting, choose hillside stays with ocean views, but expect more uphill walking. |
| 🏙️ Best Area to Stay for Digital Nomads | Best long-stay areas are around Tamraght village center and the quieter residential lanes above the main road, where you can find villas with rooftop terraces, better airflow, and quieter nights. For reliability, prioritize properties with fiber internet, backup mobile data, and a workspace away from the surf-house common area. |
| 🏙️ City | Tamraght, Souss-Massa, Morocco, a laid-back surf village just north of Taghazout and about 18 km northeast of Agadir. |
| 👥 Population | Approx. 4,000–6,000 residents in the Tamraght area, with a much larger seasonal expat and surf community. |
WORKING AND NETWORKING
| Topic | Details |
|---|---|
| 🏢 Best Coworking Space | Tamraght has few formal coworking spaces, so the best practical option is often a work-friendly surf house with dedicated desks and strong Wi-Fi.

Expect monthly desk prices in the wider area around 1,500–3,500 MAD depending on facilities. |
| ☕ Best Cafe for Work | Cafe Kiosk Tamraght on the main road is one of the more practical spots for a laptop session if you buy drinks and go at quieter hours. In nearby Taghazout, Cafe Mouja and Le Spot are more laptop-friendly, but confirm Wi-Fi and power outlets before settling in. |

Expect weekly beach cleanups, potlucks, and group surf lessons. |
