Discover the Best SIM Card for Travelers in Marrakech!

Worried about landing in Marrakech with no internet connection?

If you're planning a trip to the Red City, staying connected isn't a luxury — it's essential. From navigating the winding medina to sharing those picture-perfect moments on Instagram, reliable internet can make or break your experience.

This guide gives you everything you need to know — whether you want a physical SIM card or a smart eSIM that activates before you even land.

Whether you're a heavy data user or just need WhatsApp for your riad check-in, you'll find the best option without overspending or getting stuck offline.

Read on to stay connected the smart way — faster, cheaper, and stress-free.

Internet Connectivity Improvement

Ten years ago, we didn’t have 4G, but fortunately, internet connectivity has improved over the last decade. 

It’s not perfect, but you can manage.

Choosing a SIM or eSIM?

If you consume less than 1GB of data per day for a 3-day trip:

• The best option for you is the third plan from Airalo (the most popular eSIM provider) for $20.50.
• You can use the hotel or riad Wi-Fi to reduce data consumption.

If you consume more than 1GB of data per day:

• The best choice is the last plan from Airalo with unlimited data for $35.

Tip: It’s better to purchase the unlimited plan, as I see many of my followers find that 1GB is not enough time after time. In the end, they choose the unlimited plan!

Are There Cheaper Options?

Yes, you can purchase a SIM card from an official service provider store. 

There are three telecom companies in Morocco:

1. Inwi: The best in terms of internet quality.

2. Orange: Close in quality to Inwi.

3. Maroc Telecom: I do not recommend this one.

After purchasing a SIM card (e.g., Inwi), you will find 2GB as a gift. 

You can recharge it after the 2GB expires for $2 per additional 2GB, which you can purchase at any grocery store or from the official website.

Tip: Buy scratch-off top-up cards to use later.

You can find the SIM card at the airport, but it will be a bit more expensive. You'll pay around $10 for a 10GB card. 

Alternatively, you can visit an official provider's store for better prices.

Summary

Choosing the right card may not be of great importance, especially since Wi-Fi is available everywhere. 

The internet speed may not be perfect, but it is sufficient.

If you want a SIM or eSIM, I recommend buying a SIM card at the airport or an eSIM from Airalo.
