Reviews
I had an amazing experience with Medina Surfing and Abdel’s mobile surf school! What I really appreciated was the focus on intermediate-level progression, going from foam board to hard board felt like a big step, and Abdel guided it perfectly. It’s a great choice for beginners plus who want to move up to the next level.
What makes this surf school unique is the flexibility of the mobile setup: you’re not limited to just one beach in Rabat. Abdel knows the best local surf spots and takes you where the waves are best that day.
We also had lots of laughs and good moments together. Abdel makes sure that you enjoy the whole experience. I’d definitely recommend this school if you want a combination of skill progression, fun atmosphere, and authentic Moroccan surf vibes.
We had an amazing stay at Medina Surf Camp! Rooms were cosy and comfortable, rooftop was clean and kitchen was stocked well. We were able to hire boards and wetsuits. Abdel took us for surfs and recommended good local spots. Abdel was extremely welcoming, helpful and kind. He made our stay so much better!
The surfhouse in the Medina is the perfect place for beginner, intermediate, and advanced surfers. Abdel will find the right spot for your level, and the Surfteachers are all really cool and relaxed. The accommodation itself has got everything you need for travellers that want to eat in the hostel. The market is nearby and offers veggies and fruits as well as other food that you can bring and cook in the rooftop kitchen. I have been there 3 times already, and it always feels like going home. Abdel is really welcoming and happy to help you out with everything. I always enjoy being there, and I will definitely come back.
The surflessons are for a fair price, and you can choose the time you prefer according to the waves forecast. It's really cool that you can also just rent a wetsuit and board. Abdel will be there to choose the right equipment with you. The beach for beginnerlessons is just a short wall away, and the other beaches can be reached together with abdels support.
