The Guide

Practical answers on staying, surfing, working and getting around Tamraght, written by people who live here and updated as prices move.

Updated 3 July 2026

Twelve guides to one small village. Each one exists because somebody asked us the question, at a cafe table or out in the lineup, and the answer we found online was wrong, outdated, or written by someone who had never set foot here.

So we keep our own numbers. Prices are in dirham with euro conversions at roughly 11 MAD to 1 euro, every page carries the date it was last checked, and when rent or the taxi fare moves, the page moves with it. Where a price is negotiable we say so. Where we could not confirm something on the ground, it does not go in.

If you are new here: Tamraght is a small surf village twelve kilometres north of Agadir, quieter than its neighbour Taghazout, and increasingly the base people pick when they need to get real work done between sessions. The Guide is the practical half of this site. The Swell is the other half, and takes none of it seriously.

Where to start

First trip and short on time: read The Briefing, which covers airport, money, SIM and season in five minutes. Still deciding where to base: Tamraght vs Taghazout settles the four-kilometre question. Planning a longer stay around real work: start with the cost of living, then where to stay.

How these guides work

Each guide ends with the questions people actually type into a search bar, answered straight. Some links are affiliate or partner links; if you book through them we may earn a commission at no cost to you, and we only point at things we would send a friend to. That model only works if the advice stays right, so if you find a price that has moved, tell us through the contact page and we will check it and fix the page.

And if the thing you need is not here yet, ask. Most of these guides started as someone’s question.

✦ The Swell — the desk that takes everyone seriously, including itself. Field reports from Tamraght’s founders, surfers, and self-optimizers. Affectionate. Mostly.
