💰 COST & AFFORDABILITY

Factor	Score	Trend	Weight	Notes
💸 Cost of Living +	7.8	--	150	Tamraght offers a very low cost of living compared to Western Europe or North America, but is slightly higher than the cheapest destinations in Southeast Asia or rural Africa. A digital nomad can live comfortably on a modest budget.

🏠 Accommodation Cost +	7.5	--	80	Rents for apartments or surf camps are affordable, especially outside peak season, though prices in this popular surf town are a bit higher than in inland Moroccan cities. Still much cheaper than European coastal towns.

🍎 Food & Groceries +	7.8	--	40	Local produce and street food are very cheap, while imported goods and Western-style restaurants cost more. Overall, grocery bills are low and eating out is affordable for a digital nomad.

🚌 Transportation Cost +	7.4	--	20	Public buses and shared taxis (grand taxis) are inexpensive, and the town is walkable. Longer trips to Agadir or other cities are also cheap, though options are limited compared to larger hubs.

🎟️ Entertainment Cost +	7.3	--	15	Entertainment mainly revolves around beach activities, surfing, and local cafes, which are very cheap. Nightlife is minimal but affordable; costs are lower than in major tourist resorts.

🏋️ Gym Membership Cost +	6.5	--	10	Basic gym memberships are reasonably priced, though facilities may be limited. Prices are lower than in Europe but higher than in some Asian countries due to fewer options.

💱 Currency Stability +	7.6	--	30	The Moroccan dirham is pegged to a basket of currencies (euro and US dollar), providing moderate stability. It is not as volatile as some emerging market currencies but can fluctuate slightly against major currencies.

💻 DIGITAL NOMAD ESSENTIALS

Factor	Score	Trend	Weight	Notes
🚀 Internet Speed +	6.4	--	100	Decent fiber and 4G in Tamraght, but can be slower during peak tourist season; not as fast as major cities like Cagliari.

📱 Local SIM Card Availability +	7.2	--	25	Easy to purchase SIM cards in Agadir (20 min away) with good coverage; local shops in Tamraght have limited stock but Maroc Telecom and Orange are reliable.
