WHAT IS A POCKET WIFI?


A Pocket WiFi is a small, portable device that creates a personal and secure WiFi network—just like your home internet box, but in a compact format (about 100g). It allows you to connect up to 10 devices simultaneously—phones, laptops, tablets… making it perfect for the whole family! Slip it into your bag and enjoy 8 hours of battery life, staying connected anywhere in Morocco.



HOW TO BOOK A POCKET WIFI FOR YOUR HOLIDAY IN MOROCCO?


City WiFi is Marrakech’s #1 Pocket WiFi rental service. Everything is designed to make your life easier:

Book easily via WhatsApp by specifying your dates and pickup location.

✅ Enjoy unlimited 4G connection anywhere in Morocco.

✅ At the end of your trip, we collect the device for free—wherever you are in Marrakech.


📌 Our service is currently available only in Marrakech, but we are working on expanding to other cities in Morocco.



HOW MUCH DOES A POCKET WIFI COST IN MARRAKECH?


Rental starts at €15 (150 MAD) for a minimum of 3 days. Good news—the longer you rent, the lower the daily rate! Payment is made upon pickup of your mobile router. Check out all our rates on our website and feel free to contact us—we’ll be happy to help!


Delivery fees: €2 within the city, €5 for the airport.



WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY:

⭐ “Pocket WiFi rental—perfect! The company is top-notch, very responsive, and always available. The most affordable option out there.”



2.⁠ ⁠ PREPAID SIM CARDS: A QUICK BUT LIMITED SOLUTION


If you don’t need unlimited internet and are looking for a temporary solution, a prepaid SIM card is a simple and affordable option. It’s ideal for travelers who didn’t plan their connection before arriving and is available starting from €0.50.


WHICH OPERATORS OFFER PREPAID SIM CARDS IN MOROCCO?

Maroc Telecom, Orange, and Inwi dominate the Moroccan market. All of them offer strong 4G coverage with similar rates. However, if you plan to travel outside major cities, it’s better to choose Maroc Telecom or Inwi, as they provide better coverage in rural and remote areas.


WHERE TO BUY A PREPAID SIM CARD IN MOROCCO?

✈️ At the airport: The stands for all 3 operators are located before the exit, so you won’t miss them. They often offer free SIM cards, but with data plans that are more expensive than those available in the city center.


🏙️ In the city: SIM cards are sold at operator stores and in small local shops called “hanouts,” which are found nearly every 200 meters.


⚠️ Note: To buy a SIM, you will typically be asked for an ID or passport.

📌 MO? GO? WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN?


It’s not always easy to assess your data usage, especially while traveling. To help you choose the best roaming SIM card for your needs, here are some concrete examples of data consumption based on the most common activities of travelers:

Google Maps - 1 hour: 5 to 10 MB

Voice call on WhatsApp - 1 minute: 0.5 MB

Web page browsing - 1 page: 1 to 5 MB

Scrolling through Facebook/Instagram - 1 minute: 2 to 4 MB

Watching YouTube videos in HD - 1 hour: 1 GB


This should give you a clearer idea of how much data you need depending on the activities you’ll be doing while traveling!


3.⁠ ⁠ eSIM: MODERN SOLUTION FOR CONNECTED TRAVELLERS


An eSIM is a digital SIM card built directly into your device. It is usually activated by scanning a QR code received via email after purchase. Convenient and hassle-free, it allows you to have internet access as soon as you arrive in Morocco, without needing to buy or insert a physical SIM card.

⚠️ Before purchasing an eSIM, check your phone’s compatibility, as only recent smartphone models support this technology.


👛 Price: eSIMs cost approximately €5.30 per day for internet access in Morocco.


📌 Good to know: An eSIM can only connect one device at a time. Tethering or hotspot sharing is not possible!


4.⁠ ⁠ PUBLIC WIFI : FOR TRAVELERS .... DISCONNECTED


Public Wi-Fi isn’t our favorite solution, but for a zero-cost option, it’s always available in Morocco. Many cafés, restaurants, riads, and hotels offer free internet access. However, the quality and security of these networks can vary greatly.

IF YOU CHOOSE THIS OPTION, REMEMBER TO:

Download offline maps of the city on Google Maps to access your routes without an internet connection.

➡️ Do this before your trip or while connected to Wi-Fi.


✅ Write down essential information like your reservation numbers and hotel address to avoid getting stuck without internet.


✅ Secure your connection by using a VPN when connecting to a public network.


And if you change your mind during your stay, contact City WiFi—we’ll deliver a Pocket Wi-Fi to you in no time!


5.⁠ ⁠ ROAMING : FOR EMERGENCIES ONLY


Roaming allows you to use your national mobile plan abroad.


⚠️ Be careful with this option! Morocco is not part of the European Union, so roaming charges can be extremely high—up to €3 per MB. This makes it a costly choice, best reserved for occasional use unless your plan includes an international option.


📌 Tip: Always check with your mobile operator to see if your plan includes roaming in Morocco.
