Planning a week in Morocco and wondering how much data you need? It depends almost entirely on one thing: video. Without it, a week fits in 1 to 2 GB. With Reels and a few video calls, it is more like 4 to 7 GB. With streaming, 15 GB or more.
What each app uses
| Use | Typical usage |
|---|---|
| WhatsApp messages (text) | under 5 MB a day |
| Maps / navigation | about 3–5 MB an hour |
| WhatsApp voice call | about 0.3–0.5 MB a minute |
| Video call | about 3–5 MB a minute |
| Reels, TikTok | about 100–250 MB per 15 minutes |
| HD video | about 1.5–3 GB an hour |
Navigation surprises most people: it barely registers. What drains a plan is video feeds, streaming and automatic phone updates.
Three profiles for a week
- Light (messages, maps, some searches, photos kept on the phone): about 1–1.5 GB for the week.
- Typical (plus social media, a few video calls, photo backup): about 4–7 GB for the week, under 1 GB most days.
- Heavy (plus streaming and tethering a laptop): 15 GB or more.
Our plans are sold by days, not gigabytes
Every eSIM Maroc plan works the same way: 1 GB a day at full 4G/5G speed, then 512 Kbps until the allowance resets 24 hours later. There is no total cap and you are never cut off. For a week, that is the 7-day plan at €24 (€3.43 a day).
Light and typical users stay under the daily gigabyte almost every day. Heavy users drop to reduced speed in the evening: messaging, maps and email keep working, HD video does not. Keep series and films for the hotel Wi-Fi.
When the plan starts
Not at purchase and not at installation: on your first connection to a Moroccan network, then in 24-hour periods. Install at home on Wi-Fi a few days before you fly. Watch out for a layover in Casablanca: if the phone connects there, the clock starts.
If your trip changes
- 5 or 6 nights with a morning flight home: the 5-day plan at €19 may be enough.
- 8 to 10 days: the 10-day plan at €32.
- Staying longer than planned: plans cannot be extended or topped up; buy a new plan for the extra days (3 days is €14). It arrives as a new eSIM with its own QR code.
