Marrakech eSIM: what to know before you land

🇲🇦 Marrakech, Morocco · RAK · 4-day pick: 3 GB for $11.99

Landing in Marrakech

Menara airport is only a few kilometres from the medina. Taxis can't drive into much of the medina itself, so a working map is useful for the last stretch to a riad.

  1. Install the Morocco eSIM at home on Wi-Fi before you fly.
  2. When the plane lands at RAK, turn on data roaming for the eSIM line, so maps and transport apps work from the arrivals hall.
  3. The days start counting on first connection in Morocco, not at purchase.
