Staying connected in Morocco is easy in cities and towns, and a little more limited in the desert and the mountains. A bit of preparation means maps, translation and messaging work when you need them.
This guide covers SIM cards, eSIM, Wi-Fi and power plugs.
Morocco has three main operators, Maroc Telecom, Orange and inwi. You can buy a prepaid SIM at the airport or in town, and you need your passport to register it. Check that your phone is unlocked before you travel.
If your phone supports eSIM, you can install a travel data plan before arrival and switch it on when you land. Roaming with your home plan is also possible, but check your provider’s conditions first.
Most riads, hotels and many cafes offer Wi-Fi, and it is usually good enough for messaging and maps. Speed can vary in old medina buildings with thick walls.
Cities and main roads have good coverage, but the dunes, remote valleys and parts of the High Atlas may have weak or no signal. Download offline maps and translations in advance. See our luxury desert camps guide and Atlas Mountains guide.
Morocco uses 220 V with two-pin European plugs, so bring an adapter if needed. A small power bank is useful on long days. Plan your trip with our 7, 10 and 14-day itineraries.
