The rule is simple: count the days you will be in Morocco, then round up to the next plan. Plans are sold by duration only — every one carries identical data — so length is the only decision you have to make.
Validity starts on your first connection to a Moroccan network, not at purchase, so you can buy and install days in advance without burning any of it.
What each plan costs per day
| Plan | Total price | Per day |
|---|---|---|
| 1 day | €6 | €6.00 |
| 3 days | €14 | €4.67 |
| 5 days | €19 | €3.80 |
| 7 days | €24 | €3.43 |
| 10 days | €32 | €3.20 |
| 15 days | €45 | €3.00 |
| 30 days | €79 | €2.63 |
The pattern is what you would expect: the longer the plan, the cheaper each day gets. A single day costs €6; on the 30-day plan the same day costs about €2.63.
Matching a plan to a trip
| Trip | Plan to buy | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Layover or day trip | 1 day — €6 | Enough to get you online between flights. |
| Long weekend in Marrakech | 3 days — €14 | Covers a Friday-to-Sunday city break. |
| Short break, 4–5 nights | 5 days — €19 | The usual choice for a first visit to one city. |
| Standard one-week holiday | 7 days — €24 | The most common trip length, and the most common plan. |
| Two-city tour or desert tour | 10 days — €32 | Enough slack for travel days between cities. |
| Extended holiday | 15 days — €45 | Covers a fortnight with a margin. |
| Long stay, remote work, family visit | 30 days — €79 | The lowest daily rate we offer. |
When to size up
Round up rather than down if any of these apply:
- Your flight home is late in the evening. A plan that ends on the morning of departure leaves you offline for the trip to the airport.
- Your dates might move. There are no top-ups, so extending means buying a second plan.
- You are the group's hotspot. Tethering works on every plan, but if you are the one keeping everyone else online it is worth having the buffer.
The price gaps are small enough that the extra days usually cost less than the inconvenience of running out. Going from 5 to 7 days is €5; from 10 to 15 is €13.
What does not change between plans
It is worth being explicit, because it makes the decision easier — a longer plan does not buy you a better product, only more days of the same one:
- Same data policy on every plan: 1 GB per day at full 4G/5G speed, then 512 Kbps for the rest of that 24-hour period, resetting every 24 hours. No total cap, no cut-off.
- Same networks: Morocco's three operators, with 4G nationwide and 5G where it has been rolled out.
- Hotspot on every plan, whatever the duration.
- Same delivery: a QR code by email, normally within seconds of payment.
What 1 GB a day actually covers
That number sounds small until you look at what ordinary travel use costs. Messaging, maps, email, boarding passes, restaurant lookups, social feeds and a normal amount of photo uploading do not come close to exhausting 1 GB in a day. Video is the thing that does.
The clearest published figures come from the services themselves:
- Netflix states its own data usage per hour of streaming: up to 0.3 GB on Low, up to 0.7 GB on Medium, up to 1 GB per hour at standard definition on High, up to 3 GB per hour in HD and up to 7 GB per hour in 4K. One hour of HD streaming is three days of full-speed allowance.
- Spotify publishes bitrates rather than volumes: approximately 24 kbit/s on Low, 96 kbit/s on Normal, 160 kbit/s on High and 320 kbit/s on Very High. At Normal that works out to roughly 43 MB per hour (our arithmetic from their published bitrate), so music is close to irrelevant next to video.
If you are not streaming video over mobile data, 1 GB a day is comfortable. If you plan to, download before you travel or use hotel Wi-Fi for it. And if you do use it up, nothing is cut off — the speed drops to 512 Kbps for the rest of that day and messaging, maps, email and ordinary browsing keep working.
Special cases worth planning for
- Sharing with a travel companion. Hotspot works on every plan, but shared data comes out of the same 1 GB of full-speed data per day — two heavy users on one eSIM reach the threshold sooner than one.
- Working remotely. Video calls are the heavy case. A day of calls will use the full-speed allowance; the 30-day plan is the cheapest per day, and the connection continues at reduced speed rather than stopping.
- Staying longer than 30 days. Buy a second plan and install it when the first ends. A phone can hold more than one eSIM profile, so the next one can be ready in advance.
- Landing after midnight. Your first partial day still counts as a day — another argument for rounding up.
Before you buy
Two things worth checking. First, that your phone supports eSIM and is not carrier-locked — most phones from 2018 onwards are fine, but a locked handset will not accept any eSIM. Second, that you install before you fly: installing early costs you nothing, and airport Wi-Fi is a bad place to discover a problem.
