Caculating costs of living in Morocco aren't the easiest thing to do. When you look for information online you usually find information about living in big cities like Rabat, Casablanca, Agadir,  Marrakech and so on. But if you prefer a hot, tropical sunny area, it is mostly about the places outside of cities as in villages.  Most of us new, inexperienced immigrants seek for local areas where there are not so many tourists. And we think that tiny houses and pretty places require a lot of preparation that can be expensive. Well, guess what! We're wrong! There are  beautiful apartments available that are easier, better and have lower prices. Here are a few interesting, popular choices for you to make. 
Rent
So the average rent will suprise you and is only around 2500DH for a 2 bedroom apartment and with little basic furniture. Thus there are local shops, bakeries and regular restaurants also for delivery. You will enjoy accessible places: The beach, mountains, transport to the city. Think of Chefchaouen or Ourika Valley. 

Utilities 
Super easy are utilities that are often out of the rent like water, electricity. Discuss this with your landlord or make a contract with Lydec or Onep. There are often no bills for the garbage, maybe once in 4 months 20dh that often depends on the landlords. You buy your own separate gasbottle, 1 for cooking and the other one for shower. They cost around 120dh. Want to get a safer option? Then buy an electric boiler for the shower which cost around 2000dh. Also you can buy your own wifi with for example Maroc Telecom box (find this at the local phone store for 800dh), which you upgrade with credit that you can buy at the store for around 100dh per week (so 400dh per month in total). 
Groceries 
You can have both so why choose! Groceries you can often buy that in the souk (local market), hanut is the small shop often near your house where you can buy necessaries like bread, cheese, toiletpaper, shower creams. Pasta, lentils and so on are around 5dh for a kilo. Meat is around 30dh for a kilo. Real cheese is often expensive are also around 50dh because it is expensive. Water from the brand Atlas is around 15dh for 5Liter, because it is not really possible to drink local water. Average can be around 3000dh a month.
Transport 
Small taxis are around 20dh. A local bus is around 5 dh. In between cities you pay 80-100dh by bus, the best busses are CTM busses. But you have many options for different busses. If you want to rent a car it is approximately 250dh per day. Gas price is around 10dh per liter. It is not always available or easy but people are really friendly and some can suggestions.
Sport
Gyms are often available and memberships are popular and they are costing around 200dh. 
Healthcare 
Doctors and dentists are really affordable, for 200 or 300dh per consult. 
Schools 
Primary schools are around 500dh per child, high schools 1000dh per child, per month. 

So the average costs per month can be around 9000dh all included . Want to know more? Contact me on email: [email protected]
