Renowned for its diverse landscapes, rich culture, and legendary hospitality, Morocco is a top travel destination. It's no wonder the country might be your next vacation spot 😉 If you're looking for ways to combine enjoyment with ease, you'll definitely need an internet connection during your stay. Here are 4 tips you should know to stay connected in Morocco.
4 Options for Internet Connection in Morocco :
1. Prepaid SIM Cards
One of the most convenient internet connection solutions for travelers in Morocco is to purchase a local prepaid SIM card. Major operators such as Maroc Telecom, Orange Maroc, and Inwi offer solid network coverage, including 4G. Ideal for travelers who haven’t thought much about this before landing, you can find these SIM cards at airports, operator stores, or even some grocery shops. Don’t forget to have an unlocked phone to use a Moroccan SIM card.
👛 Price of prepaid SIM cards in Morocco:
- Expect to pay 200 MAD (about €20) for a prepaid SIM card purchased at the airport.
- You can then top it up with the amount of your choice. Recharge options from Moroccan operators typically range between 10 MAD and 100 MAD (€1 to €10).
- For reference, internet top-ups provide you with credit for calls and SMS along with a small amount of data. Expect 10 MAD = 1Gb (about €1 / Gb).
🤨 How to top up your prepaid card in Morocco ?
You can top up your SIM card at an operator's agency or in grocery stores around town. You can easily spot them by the logos of the operators displayed on the shopfront. Payments are usually made in cash, and the top-up is instant. If you’re unsure how to do it, don’t hesitate to ask the shopkeeper for help.
2. Public Wi-Fi
Most hotels, riads, and other accommodations in Morocco offer free Wi-Fi to their guests. However, the quality of this connection can vary. In major cities like Marrakech, Casablanca, and Rabat, the Wi-Fi is generally fast and reliable, but in rural areas or smaller towns, it may be slower or intermittent. As with anywhere else, using public Wi-Fi networks carries risks. Avoid making financial transactions or accessing sensitive information when connected to an unsecured network.
👉🏻 Tip from the editors: If you opt for this internet connection option, consider downloading the city map on Google Maps before your trip. This trick will help you navigate the city without getting lost.
3. Mobile Connection
If you don’t want to buy a local SIM card, another option is to use your international mobile plan. However, this option can be expensive due to roaming charges. Be sure to check the rates with your operator before you leave.
If your plan doesn’t include this option, we strongly advise NEVER activating your 4G when you arrive in Morocco, except in an emergency. Just a few minutes of connection with your home network can quickly rack up a hefty bill (real-life example: 5 minutes for €50).
