About Maktub Maroc
A Moroccan surf house created around the ocean, local hospitality and the belief that some of the best moments in life happen when you trust the journey.
What does Maktub mean?
Maktub is an Arabic word meaning “it is written.” It expresses the idea that certain people, places and experiences are meant to find their way into our lives.
It does not mean sitting back and waiting for life to happen. It means accepting that we cannot control every outcome while still showing up, taking chances and enjoying the journey.
At Maktub Maroc, we believe that what is truly yours will find you. Sometimes it arrives as a new friendship, a memorable trip or the perfect wave.
“What is meant for you will find you.”
Surfing is a lot like life
Surfing is not only about standing on a board. It is about paddling, falling, trying again, reading the ocean and learning to stay calm when conditions change.
Some waves pass you by. Some push you back toward the shore. Then one wave arrives at exactly the right moment, and everything suddenly feels worth it.
We use surfing as a reminder to enjoy the complete process, not only the final result. Every lesson, every fall and every small improvement is part of the experience.
“You cannot stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf.”
Our home in Aourir
Maktub Maroc is based in Aourir, also known as Banana Village, between Agadir and Taghazout.
From here, we can reach many surf spots around Aourir, Tamraght, Taghazout, Anza and the surrounding Atlantic coastline.
Every day, our instructors choose the most suitable location according to the waves, weather conditions and surfing level of our guests.
Our surf house is more than a place to sleep. It is a place to share meals, meet new people, relax on the rooftop, discover Moroccan culture and feel at home.

Oussama grew up close to the Atlantic Ocean in Morocco and started surfing at a young age. The ocean quickly became an important part of his life, giving him energy, freedom and a strong connection with nature.
After years of surfing, coaching and welcoming international visitors to Morocco, he created Maktub Maroc to offer more than ordinary surf lessons.
His goal was to build a genuine Moroccan surf experience based on personal attention, local knowledge, good food and warm hospitality.
Today, Oussama manages Maktub Maroc together with a local team of surf instructors, hosts, yoga teachers and chefs.
