eSIM for Morocco
Morocco's ScarabPay eSIM uses Orange Morocco and its 5G network to keep you online from the medinas of Marrakech and Fes to the Atlantic coast. It is a prepaid data plan installed by QR code, your own SIM stays in the phone, and it spares you a passport check and queue at an airport SIM counter after landing.

Mobile internet in Morocco: from medinas to the Sahara
Orange Morocco is one of the country's three national operators, and its network serves the big cities well: Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, Fes, Tangier and Agadir, with 5G where available in urban areas. Coverage is generally good along the motorways and in coastal towns. It gets thinner in High Atlas valleys, on mountain passes such as the Tizi n'Tichka, and in the Sahara around Merzouga and Zagora, where desert camps may have little or no signal.
Moroccan SIM cards are sold against a passport, and airport kiosks in Casablanca and Marrakech can have queues after large arrivals. Riads and hotels usually have Wi-Fi, though thick medina walls weaken it in some rooms. Inside the medinas, lanes twist and many are poorly signposted, so live maps and location sharing are genuinely useful; download offline maps as a backup. Petit taxis are the usual way to get around within towns.
Install the eSIM over Wi-Fi before you fly, then on arrival turn on data roaming for the eSIM line only and leave your home SIM on for SMS codes. A long weekend in Marrakech needs only a modest plan, while a two-week loop through Fes, Chefchaouen, the desert and the coast, with navigation and photo sharing, uses much more. Top up before heading into the Sahara rather than running out there.
Quick tips for Morocco
- In the medina, pin your riad on the map before going out; finding it again from memory is hard.
- Desert camps near Merzouga may have weak signal, so send messages home before leaving the last town.
- Expect coverage gaps on the Tizi n'Tichka road and download the route offline before setting out.
- The Morocco plan does not cover Spain, so arrange data for your next stop before boarding the ferry.
- Thick riad walls can block Wi-Fi in some rooms, and eSIM data makes a handy backup.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Morocco eSIM work in Ceuta, Melilla or on the ferry to Spain?
No. Ceuta and Melilla are Spanish cities served by Spanish networks, so the Morocco plan does not apply there or in mainland Spain. If you are combining both countries in one trip, buy a Spain plan as well or choose a regional plan that includes Morocco and Spain.
Will I have signal in the Sahara and the Atlas Mountains?
Larger towns such as Ouarzazate and Errachidia generally have coverage, but signal fades among the dunes, in deep valleys and on remote trekking routes. Many desert camps are out of range or offer only limited Wi-Fi. Download offline maps and tell your guide or riad host your plans.
Is the eSIM useful inside the medinas of Fes and Marrakech?
Yes, and that is often where you need data most. Medina lanes are narrow and confusing, and live maps help you find riads, gates and landmarks. Signal can weaken between tall walls and indoors, so save your riad's location offline and keep a screenshot of the directions.
How do I activate my Morocco eSIM?
After you pay, open the QR code in your ScarabPay account and scan it in your phone settings. The Morocco data plan installs in a minute or two, and you can turn it on when you arrive.
When should I install the eSIM?
You can install it before your trip and switch it on once you reach Morocco. The validity period starts when the plan first connects to a network, not when you install it.
Can I keep my own number in Morocco?
Yes. The Morocco eSIM handles mobile data while your regular SIM stays active for your usual number, so you can still receive calls and texts.
What if I run out of data in Morocco?
Simply buy another Morocco plan from your ScarabPay account. You can top up as many times as you need, paying from your wallet or with crypto each time.
Do I need a ScarabPay account?
Yes. You buy and manage your Morocco eSIM from your ScarabPay account, which also gives you one place for your wallet, cards and payments. Creating an account takes only a few minutes.
Ready for your next trip?
Get online in Morocco the moment you arrive. Choose a data plan, pay from your ScarabPay wallet or with crypto, and receive your QR code instantly, no physical SIM and no roaming bills.
