Discovering Tamraght: A Hidden Gem

When I first heard about the 7-day surf package in Tamraght, Morocco, I was intrigued. As someone who has spent years chasing waves across Central America, the idea of surfing in Morocco was both exotic and enticing. Tamraght, a small village with no ATMs and a couple of hip cafes, promised a unique experience away from the hustle and bustle of big cities. The B&B where I stayed was modern and immaculate, offering spacious rooms and comfortable amenities. It was a perfect blend of luxury and simplicity, a place where I could unwind after a day of surfing.

The village itself was charming, with other villages just a short drive away, offering more dining options. But what truly captivated me was the sense of community and the warmth of the locals. It was a place where time seemed to slow down, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the experience.

Riding the Moroccan Waves

The surf lessons were nothing short of extraordinary. Abdollah and Hamza, my instructors from Tiziri Surf, were not only skilled surfers but also passionate teachers. They spent 2-4 hours a day with me, ensuring I got the most out of my time in the water. The waves were challenging yet exhilarating, and the sight of horses and camels watching from the shore added a surreal touch to the experience.

Despite the occasional chill in the water, the thrill of catching a wave made it all worthwhile. The instructors’ dedication to not just teaching but also enjoying the surf with me was a refreshing change from the more commercialized surf schools I’ve encountered. It was a reminder of why I fell in love with surfing in the first place – the pure joy of being one with the ocean.

Yoga, Camels, and New Friends

After a day of surfing, yoga sessions with Lena provided the perfect way to unwind. Her classes were intensive yet fun, and I found myself laughing as I attempted to fold into various poses. It was a humbling experience, but one that left me feeling rejuvenated.

Though I was initially the only guest due to cancellations, the team at Tiziri Surf ensured I never felt alone. They took me to local spots in the evenings, and I soon met other surfers who joined the classes and trips. The camaraderie and shared passion for surfing created a bond that transcended language and cultural barriers.

In the end, my time in Tamraght was more than just a surf trip; it was a journey of discovery and connection. The combination of stunning waves, warm hospitality, and the vibrant culture of Morocco made it an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for a surf adventure that offers more than just great waves, Tamraght is the place to be.
