What it's actually like here

Living here as a digital nomad offers a surprisingly affordable lifestyle, especially when compared to many European or North American hubs. You can find comfortable accommodation without breaking the bank, leaving more room in your budget for experiences. The city buzzes with a moderate but growing nomad community, so you'll find kindred spirits, though it's not and isn't designed to be a massive expat bubble. Internet access is generally fast and reliable, making remote work a breeze. English proficiency among locals is moderate, so while you can get by, learning some basic Darija or French will significantly enhance your experience. While daytime safety feels good, like any large city, it’s wise to be aware of your surroundings, especially after dark in certain areas. It's a fantastic spot for those seeking an authentic cultural immersion coupled with genuine affordability and decent infrastructure.
