About Aourir
Aourir: Morocco's Surf Village on the Souss Coast
Aourir sits on the Atlantic coast of southern Morocco, roughly 15 km north of Agadir along the N1 highway. Long known as Banana Village for the plantations lining its hillsides, the town draws surfers to its consistent beach break, which works best from September through April. The Wednesday souk brings traders from surrounding Souss-Massa villages, selling produce, argan oil, and locally woven goods — a markedly different scene from Agadir's resort strip.
Where to Stay in Aourir
Accommodation is compact here — small guesthouses and surf camps cluster near the beach road. Staying in Aourir rather than Agadir puts guests within walking distance of the break and close to the seafront café terraces overlooking Cap Ghir headland to the north.
Practical Tips
- Getting there: Grands taxis run frequently between Agadir's Inezgane terminal and Aourir for around 10 MAD per seat.
- Surf conditions: The main beach break suits intermediate riders; beginners should check with local schools before paddling out.
- Market day: The Wednesday souk runs from early morning — arrive before 10:00 for the widest selection.
- Currency: Dirham is the only practical currency; no ATM in the village centre, so carry cash from Agadir.
