Short answer: A Morocco-only eSIM starts at $4.49 for 1 GB, needs no local registration and only starts counting days when it first uses data. Morocco is outside EU roaming, so a Europe pack or an EU SIM does not cover it. For a typical week in Morocco, buy the 10 GB, 30-day plan at $18.99.
| Trip length | Typical use (moderate) | Cheapest Morocco plan that covers it |
|---|---|---|
| 3 days | 2–4 GB | 5 GB for 30 days, $11.99 |
| 7 days | 4–7 GB | 10 GB for 30 days, $18.99 |
| 10 days | 6–10 GB | 10 GB for 30 days, $18.99 |
| 14 days | 8–14 GB | 20 GB for 30 days, $31.99 |
| 30 days | 15–25 GB | 50 GB for 30 days, $62.99 |

This guide covers what all 18 Morocco plans cost, which ones are listed for 5G, what happens when a trip combines Spain and Morocco, when a Middle East and North Africa pack makes sense, and what a local Moroccan SIM asks of a visitor. You can compare the current Morocco eSIM plans or browse the full travel eSIM catalog. Plan details change, so treat the live listing on each product page as the source of truth before you buy.
What do the 18 Morocco plans cost?
Our catalog lists 29 Morocco-only items. Eleven are top-up add-ons for a plan you already hold. The other 18 are plans you buy fresh, from three providers: seven from eSIMGo, six from RoamVault and five from Sparks.
| Data | RoamVault | eSIMGo | Sparks Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 GB | 7 days, $4.49 | 7 days, $5.49 | 14 days, $7.99 |
| 2 GB | not offered | 15 days, $7.49 | not offered |
| 3 GB | 30 days, $9.49 | 30 days, $9.49 | 30 days, $18.99 |
| 5 GB | 30 days, $11.99 | 30 days, $12.99 | 30 days, $28.99 |
| 10 GB | 30 days, $18.99 | 30 days, $20.99 | 30 days, $48.99 |
| 20 GB | 30 days, $31.99 | 30 days, $36.99 | 30 days, $62.99 |
| 50 GB | 30 days, $62.99 | 30 days, $81.99 | not offered |

RoamVault is the cheapest or equal cheapest at every size it sells. Per gigabyte, its price falls from $4.49 on the 1 GB plan to $1.26 on the 50 GB plan. The step from 5 GB to 10 GB costs $7, which is why the 10 GB plan is the one we suggest for a week: it covers the top of the moderate range with room to spare.
If your own use sits at the low end of that range, a 5 GB plan at $11.99 or $12.99 will do, and the choice between the two comes down to the differences below.
What all 18 plans share:
- Hotspot is allowed on every one.
- Data only. None includes a Moroccan phone number, calls or SMS.
- The clock starts on first data use. All 18 are listed as activating when they first connect to data, not when you install them. You can install at home and switch the line on when you land.
- No unlimited option. Every Morocco plan we list has a fixed data amount.
Where they differ:
- Top-ups. The seven eSIMGo plans and five Sparks plans can be topped up. The six RoamVault plans cannot, so if you run out you buy a second plan.
- 5G listing. RoamVault and Sparks plans are listed for 5G. eSIMGo plans are listed for 4G/LTE.
- Price. Sparks Premium costs roughly twice as much as the other two, or more, at every size. It is the only range that offers both a 5G listing and top-ups on the same plan. Our catalog data does not show any other difference that would explain the gap.
A simple rule: take RoamVault if you know how much data you need, and eSIMGo for a dollar or two more if you want the option to add data to the same eSIM. If you want to see how these prices sit next to the big brands, our Morocco price comparison sets them against Airalo, Saily and Holafly.
Which Morocco plans are listed for 5G?
Eleven of the 18: all six RoamVault plans and all five Sparks plans. The seven eSIMGo plans are listed for 4G/LTE.
5G is new in Morocco. ANRT, the telecoms regulator, announced on 7 November 2025 that the country’s three operators, Maroc Telecom, Orange Maroc and inwi, had started commercial 5G service, with more than 6,000 5G base stations switched on across more than 50 cities. So a 5G listing means something today that it did not a year ago, but it is not a promise. Whether your phone shows 5G depends on the partner network the eSIM roams on, where you are standing, and whether your handset supports the local bands.
On speed, Speedtest’s Global Index, in its August 2026 edition, which uses a rolling three-month window, puts Morocco’s median mobile download speed at 69.70 Mbps, with a median upload of 16.28 Mbps and a median latency of 24 milliseconds. That ranks Morocco 64th in the world, against a global median of 109.05 Mbps. It is comfortably enough for maps, messaging, ride-hailing and video calls.
That figure is a national median, and most speed tests are run in cities. It says nothing about a pass in the High Atlas or a desert camp near Merzouga, and we have no measurements of our own there. If your route leaves the cities, download offline maps before you go.
None of the 38 regional and global packs that include Morocco is listed for 5G.
Does a Europe eSIM or EU roaming work in Morocco?
No, and this catches people on the Spain to Morocco route every year.
The European Commission’s roaming page, last updated in July 2026, says “roam like at home” applies in the 27 EU countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Ukraine and Moldova. Morocco is not on that list. The EU’s consumer guidance adds that roaming outside the EU and EEA “can be expensive”. A Spanish or French SIM that costs nothing extra in Seville starts charging international rates when the ferry docks in Tangier.
Travel eSIMs follow the same border. We list 83 fixed-data plans that cover Spain, and none of the Europe packs among them includes Morocco. The smallest pack in our catalog that covers both Spain and Morocco is a global plan covering more than 90 countries.
So a trip that combines Andalusia and Morocco comes down to two plans or one global one:
| Route | What to buy | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Spain and Morocco, 5 GB in each | Europe 5 GB for 30 days ($8.49) plus Morocco 5 GB for 30 days ($11.99) | $20.48 |
| Spain and Morocco, 10 GB shared | One global 10 GB plan for 30 days | $44.99 |
| Spain and Morocco, 10 GB in each | Europe 10 GB for 30 days ($13.99) plus Morocco 10 GB for 30 days ($18.99) | $32.98 |
Prices checked on 1 October 2026.
Two plans cost less than half the price of the global plan for the same total data. Most recent phones hold several eSIM profiles, so you can install both before you leave and switch lines on the ferry. Because every Morocco-only plan starts on first data use, the Morocco plan does not lose any days while you are still in Spain. Our Europe eSIM guide covers the Spanish leg.
Should you buy a Morocco-only plan or a regional pack?
For a trip that stays in Morocco, the Morocco-only plan is cheaper at every size where both exist.
We list 38 multi-country plans that include Morocco, not counting add-ons. The cheapest range is NextLink’s MENA pack, which covers 13 countries: Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Jordan, Israel and Iraq.
| Data | Morocco-only | MENA pack (13 countries) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GB, 7 days | $4.49 | $5.49 |
| 2 GB, 15 days | $7.49 | $8.49 |
| 3 GB, 30 days | $9.49 | $10.99 |
| 5 GB, 30 days | $11.99 | $14.99 |
| 10 GB, 30 days | $18.99 | $26.99 |
| 20 GB, 30 days | $31.99 | $46.99 |
Prices checked on 1 October 2026.
The gap is $1 to $1.50 at the small sizes and $15 at 20 GB. The MENA pack is listed for 4G/LTE and can be topped up.
It earns its price when a second country is on the route. Morocco followed by Egypt, or a stopover in Dubai or Istanbul on the way home, means either two single-country plans or one pack. Our guide to the regional versus single-country break-even shows how to work out which is cheaper, and our Turkey eSIM guide covers that leg in detail.
The packs sold under an “Africa” name are a different matter. All 38 packs that include Morocco also include Egypt and Tunisia, but the Africa-wide ones are priced for much larger coverage: the cheapest 10 GB, 30-day Africa pack costs $66.99, against $18.99 for Morocco alone. Buy one only if you are travelling well beyond North Africa.
What does a local Moroccan SIM ask of a visitor?
Identification first, and then it is good value.
Morocco has required prepaid SIMs to be registered for more than a decade. An ANRT decision banned the sale of pre-activated prepaid SIMs from 1 February 2014. Since then an operator may activate a prepaid line only once it holds a complete identification file: the customer’s name and address, a photocopy of an official identity document and a signed contract. The decision does not carve out an exception for tourists, so for a visitor the document is a passport.
All three operators now offer eSIMs, as their own pages read in October 2026:
- inwi, the Moroccan operator, sells its own local eSIM packs with a prepaid balance, priced in Moroccan dirhams. The inwi website lists an inwi pack at 120 dirhams with unlimited internet for 7 days and 10 minutes of national calls, an inwi pack at 220 dirhams with unlimited internet for 14 days, and an inwi pack at 520 dirhams with unlimited internet and calls for 30 days. The inwi website adds that each of these operator packs carries a 20-dirham calling balance valid for 90 days, and tells customers to visit an inwi agency to get the eSIM.
- Orange Maroc advertises an eSIM with unlimited internet from 120 dirhams. Its page describes ordering in the Orange online store, entering your identification details, and receiving the QR code by email.
- Maroc Telecom says its e-SIM costs the same as a physical SIM and can be ordered through its online store or in a shop, with the QR code and PIN sent by email.
Those packs give you more data than any plan in our catalog, and a Moroccan phone number as well. If you are staying two weeks or more, use a lot of data and do not mind an identity check, a local pack is the better deal.
We have not tested whether the operators’ online stores accept a foreign passport and a foreign bank card before you arrive, so do not count on having a local eSIM ready when you land. A travel eSIM is the opposite trade: less data for the money, but you buy and install it at home with no identity check, and it connects when you switch it on.
Do WhatsApp and FaceTime calls work in Morocco?
Yes. The question comes from 2016, when it was a real problem.
In January 2016, Morocco’s operators blocked voice calls on apps such as WhatsApp, Skype and Viber. The block lasted most of the year. On 4 November 2016, Morocco World News reported that ANRT had ordered Maroc Telecom, inwi and Meditel (now Orange Maroc) to restore internet calling, days before Marrakech hosted the COP22 climate conference. That is the last regulatory change on the subject we could find.
For a travel eSIM this matters more than usual, because none of the Morocco plans includes calls. Your calls home will run over data, through an app. A voice call uses little data. Video calls use far more, so count them when you choose a plan size.
Where does your traffic exit to the internet?
Not in Morocco, on any plan we list.
- The six RoamVault plans list Belgium as their exit point.
- The seven eSIMGo plans list the United Kingdom and Ireland.
- The five Sparks plans list the United Kingdom.
Among the 38 packs, 11 list the United Kingdom, 6 list Western Europe, 4 list Singapore and 2 list Hong Kong. The other 15 do not list an exit.
Websites will see a European address, not a Moroccan one. That rarely affects maps, messaging or email. It can affect Moroccan banking apps, local streaming and any service that decides what to show you by IP address, and search results may default to the exit country until you set your location. The mechanism is explained in our guide to travel eSIM IP addresses and country egress.
Is a US carrier’s day pass cheaper?
Not for more than a day or two. If you are coming from the United States:
- Verizon TravelPass lists Morocco at $12 per day. It is charged only on days you use the phone abroad, and each day includes 5 GB of high-speed data before speeds drop.
- AT&T International Day Pass includes Morocco among its destinations and charges $12 a day on land, with $6 a day for each additional line used on the same day.
Those are the prices as the two carriers’ pages read in October 2026.
At $12 a day, a week of roaming costs $84 for one phone. The 10 GB, 30-day Morocco plan costs $18.99 for the whole stay. A day pass keeps your own number working for calls and texts, which a data-only eSIM does not. For a one-day stop, such as a cruise call in Tangier or Casablanca, it can be the simpler choice.
What happens after you pay?
The eSIM arrives by email as a QR code. We measure the time from payment to the delivery email being accepted by the recipient’s mail server: across the 9 orders where we hold delivery records, the median is 11 seconds and the slowest was 13 seconds. From payment to order completion, the median across 16 orders is 7 seconds, and the slowest order we have handled took 14 minutes. These are small samples, so treat them as a record of what has happened so far, not a guarantee.
If no QR code arrives within an hour of payment, a refund is started automatically. You do not have to ask for it. Card refunds then take the usual few working days to reach your account.
None of the Morocco plans comes with a phone number, so keep your home SIM active in the second slot for bank and email codes, with its data roaming switched off.
FAQ
What is the cheapest eSIM for Morocco?
RoamVault’s 1 GB, 7-day plan at $4.49 is the cheapest Morocco-only plan we list. For more data, its 5 GB plan costs $11.99 and its 10 GB plan costs $18.99, each for 30 days.
Does my Spain or Europe eSIM work in Morocco?
No. Morocco is outside EU roaming, and none of the Europe packs in our catalog includes it. The smallest pack covering both Spain and Morocco is a global plan covering more than 90 countries. Two separate plans cost less.
Is there 5G on a Morocco eSIM?
On 11 of our 18 Morocco-only plans, yes: the RoamVault and Sparks plans are listed for 5G, where the partner network and your phone support it. The eSIMGo plans and all 38 packs are 4G/LTE.
Can I use a Morocco eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. All 18 Morocco-only plans allow hotspot use, and so do all 38 regional and global packs that include Morocco. Tethering a laptop uses data quickly, so choose a larger plan.
Do I need to show a passport to use an eSIM in Morocco?
Not for a travel eSIM bought before you fly; it arrives by email and installs from a QR code. A local Moroccan prepaid SIM or eSIM is different: operators must identify the buyer before the line is activated.
Conclusion: 10 GB for a week, two plans if Spain is on the route
For a trip that stays in Morocco, buy a Morocco-only plan: 5 GB at $11.99 for a long weekend, 10 GB at $18.99 for a week, 20 GB at $31.99 for two weeks. Choose RoamVault for the lowest price and a 5G listing, or eSIMGo if you want to top up. If the trip starts in Spain, add a separate Europe plan and skip the global pack.
Before you buy, confirm
- Your phone is eSIM-capable and not carrier-locked.
- You installed the eSIM before you fly, so you land connected.
- The plan’s validity covers your whole stay, counted from first data use.
- You chose between the lowest price with no top-ups (RoamVault) and a plan you can top up (eSIMGo, Sparks).
- If your route includes Spain or another country, you priced two single plans against one pack.
