Why visit Morocco?

Mountains, ocean, palm trees and desert - Morocco has it all!

From camel treks through the blazing Sahara to catching waves on the Atlantic coast, from winding alleys in medieval souks to playing gladiator on the ramparts of mud-walled castles, Morocco is a country of diverse landscapes, ancient cultures and vibrant cities, making it a top ten destination on any traveller’s bucket list. 

Once you cross into Morocco, everything changes. Your senses become awakened to the vivid colours, sights, smells, and textures all around you, and you suddenly become aware that you are in a place so different, so interesting, and so magical.

The long Atlantic coastline of Morocco - a mecca for thrill-seekers - makes this country an ideal place for a surf vacation, dotted with surf and fishing villages, all-famous for sunny weather and year-round surf for any skill level.

Learn all the surf basics from our qualified team

At Azrac Surf Morocco, we offer you the best in professional surf instruction with a true taste of Moroccan culture. Enjoy the village lifestyle in sleepy Tamraght, where your mornings consist of a tasty and complete Moroccan breakfast, views of the Atlantic coast, morning and afternoon surf sessions, and evenings filled with rich, yummy cuisine, mint tea, and great conversation among locals and other surf travellers.  

Tamraght is nestled 14km north of Agadir- a quiet village mostly comprised of locals and a mix of international surfers - some living here permanently and some seasonally.

With more than 300 sunny days per year, the vibe is very relaxed, happy, and friendly.   

The geographic location is ideal for exploring the best surf spots along the coastline and thus exploring the culture and landscapes simultaneously. Day trips to surrounding areas can also be a fun way to experience Morocco during your surf holiday, including the famous Paradise Valley, Sidi Ifni, and even larger cities like Marrakech - where you can spend time wandering the narrow and winding Medina streets and haggling with local salesmen for handmade Moroccan textiles.  

Outside the cities lay the heart of Berber Morocco. The Kasbah in Ait Benhaddou, where the films 'Gladiator' and 'Lawrence of Arabia' were filmed, is an ancient castle town located at the mouth of the Sahara desert where Berber tribes still live and ply their trade weaving carpets. The famed blue village of Chefchaouen, so named because the entire town is painted a distinct, bright blue, lies high in the mountains, surrounded by waterfalls, forests and farmland.
