Living in Tangier
Gateway to Europe, Tanger Med port and industrial zones: a growing working population, strong rental demand, and highly sought-after sea views over the bay and Malabata.
Check exposure to the wind (chergui), slopes and access. A sea view has a price, and a resale value.
Al Boraq high-speed train to Rabat and Casablanca, Ibn Battouta airport, passenger port to Spain.
Living in Agadir
A bay, a mild climate all year and a relaxed pace. A residential and seaside market (Founty, Taghazout Bay), with lower entry prices than the big cities.
You can walk to the beach from Founty and the centre. For a main home, look at neighbourhood life out of season.
Al Massira airport, motorway to Marrakech, expressway to Taghazout.
Investing in Tangier
Rental demand driven by Tanger Med, the automotive and textile industries. Studios and 1-bedroom flats near employment zones let quickly.
Investing in Agadir
Steady holiday rentals (Moroccan and European tourism). Prefer well-managed residences close to the beach.
