A Morocco plan that works in Essaouira
There's no Essaouira-specific eSIM: plans sold for Morocco cover the whole country. They run on one or more partner networks, shown in the table when the provider names them.
What about coverage in Essaouira?
We don't publish city-by-city coverage measurements. If the provider names the network it uses, you can check that local carrier's coverage map. As anywhere, reception varies by neighborhood, indoors and with crowds.
Our tips for a stay in Essaouira
- Install the eSIM before you leave, on Wi-Fi.
- Download offline maps of the city as a backup.
- Pick the duration based on your whole trip in Morocco, not just the days in Essaouira.
Set up your eSIM in 4 steps
- Make sure your phone is eSIM-compatible and unlocked.
- Buy the plan, then scan the QR code you receive (or install through the provider's app), on Wi-Fi.
- When you arrive, turn on the eSIM line for data, and turn on roaming for that line only.
- Keep your main SIM for calls and texts, with data roaming turned off.
Your phone must be eSIM-compatible and unlocked.
