Morocco

Licensed rides where available, offline medina pins, and official train tickets

14 apps7 essentialAfricaLast updated: August 2026

Check visa eligibility only through Acces Maroc and make sure the approval and passport details match before travel. Bring a travel-enabled Visa or Mastercard, a backup card, and Moroccan-dirham cash. Cards work at many hotels and larger businesses, but souks, small cafés, taxis, and rural stops often need cash. Orange Money can technically be opened with a passport and Moroccan mobile number, but a foreign card cannot fund it, so tourists do not need it. Uber now uses licensed vehicles in selected cities; inDrive is broader but may connect you with an unlicensed private car. Verify the driver, plate, fare, and payment in the app, and avoid pickups beside taxi ranks where conflict is reported. Save your riad's live pin and nearest vehicle-accessible gate before entering a medina. Do not follow unsolicited guides claiming a street is closed; licensed guides carry official identification. Save intercity tickets offline and keep a station-counter fallback. Drones require prior civil aviation permission.

Ride Hailing4 apps · 2 essential

View Ride Hailing guide→
inDrive app icon

inDriveEssential

Negotiated-price rides with broader city reach than Uber, including useful coverage in Fez.

Pro tip: Agree on the fare in the app, verify the plate, and expect cash. Avoid contested pickups beside taxi ranks and do not move the deal off-app.

App StorePlay StoreWebsite↗
Uber app icon

UberEssential

Licensed app rides in selected major cities, using an existing Uber account and supported saved cards.

Pro tip: Check the live pickup pin rather than assuming national coverage. Save inDrive and some cash for Fez or any area with no Uber cars.

App StorePlay StoreWebsite↗
Careem app icon

Careem

A secondary ride option in larger cities when Uber or inDrive supply is poor.

Pro tip: Message to confirm the pickup and do not cancel at a driver's request unless you genuinely no longer need the ride.

App StorePlay StoreWebsite↗
Bolt app icon

Bolt

An additional ride app officially listed for Marrakesh, not a countrywide option.

Pro tip: Install it only if Marrakesh is on your route. Bolt's official city list does not verify Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier, Agadir, or Fez.

App StorePlay StoreWebsite↗

Food Delivery3 apps · 1 essential

View Food Delivery guide→
Glovo app icon

GlovoEssential

The broadest verified restaurant and convenience delivery coverage across Moroccan tourist cities.

Pro tip: Pin the vehicle-accessible riad gate, keep your phone reachable, and compare the final app total with the restaurant's direct price.

App StorePlay StoreWebsite↗
Kooul app icon

Kooul

A current Moroccan delivery alternative serving several major cities and resort areas.

Pro tip: Use it to compare restaurant choice and the checkout total with Glovo, then verify that your precise neighborhood is covered.

App StorePlay StoreWebsite↗
Bolt Food app icon

Bolt Food

A verified food delivery alternative in Marrakesh, with no official nationwide footprint.

Pro tip: Treat it as a Marrakesh comparison app, not a replacement for Glovo elsewhere in Morocco.

Payments0 apps

Messaging1 app · 1 essential

WhatsApp app icon

WhatsAppEssential

The standard channel for riads, drivers, guides, restaurants, live locations, and booking coordination.

Pro tip: Ask for the riad pin and nearest accessible gate before arrival, then screenshot both. Verify any changed payment request through the original booking channel.

App StorePlay StoreWebsite↗

Navigation1 app · 1 essential

View Navigation guide→
Google Maps app icon

Google MapsEssential

Best for offline city maps, saved riad pins, road navigation, landmarks, and cross-checking pickup points.

Pro tip: Save the exact riad and its nearest vehicle gate. In a medina, trust property directions and visible landmarks over a dubious alley route.

App StorePlay StoreWebsite↗

Transit2 apps

View Transit guide→
Blassty app icon

Blassty

Official multimodal planning and live information for buses and trams around Rabat, Salé, and Témara.

Pro tip: Install it for the Rabat metro area only. Recheck the stop and departure shortly before leaving because service data can change.

App StorePlay StoreWebsite↗
CASABUS app icon

CASABUS

Casablanca bus routes, stops, arrival information, and network service notices.

Pro tip: Use it only for Casablanca buses. Check the official tramway website separately if your trip uses a tram or busway line.

View Language guide→
Google Translate app icon

Google TranslateEssential

Offline French and standard Arabic text, camera, and basic conversation help, with limits for spoken Darija.

ONCF Voyages app icon

marKoub.ma

A Moroccan multi-operator marketplace for comparing and booking intercity coach tickets.

Pro tip: After payment, verify the operating company, terminal, departure, and seat on the issued ticket, then store it offline.

Internet in Morocco

Mobile internet eSIM Best option when traveling

Guac app icon

Guac

Recommended

Reliable mobile internet at better prices than most travel eSIMs, with polished iOS and Android apps and support for making and receiving phone calls.

App StorePlay StoreSee plans

Airalo

One of the biggest travel eSIM brands, with a very large destination catalog.

Holafly

Known for unlimited-data plans in many destinations, at a higher price per gigabyte.

Buying a local SIM card ID registration required

Registration
A passport is required by Moroccan law. Shop staff complete the registration on the spot in about 2 to 5 minutes, and some shops photograph the passport. There is no device or IMEI registration.
Tourist plans and prices
Around 200 MAD (roughly $20) buys about 50 GB with inwi or Maroc Telecom, while Orange sells validity-based tourist plans from around 120 MAD (roughly $12) for 7 days. City shops also sell much smaller local bundles for a few dollars, so ask what you are getting before paying.
Where to buy
Official Maroc Telecom, inwi and Orange kiosks sit in arrivals at Casablanca, Marrakech, Agadir, Fes and Tangier airports, with the Casablanca counters reported open for all arrivals. In town, official carrier shops and teleboutiques are everywhere. Avoid street vendors entirely.
Airport prices
Little to none by most accounts: airport kiosks charge broadly the same as city shops, so there is no strong reason to wait. One recent report claims city stores are 20 to 40 percent cheaper, so if you skip the airport you may save a bit, but the safer conclusion is that the airport is fine here.
Local eSIM
Airport shops reportedly offer eSIM alongside physical SIMs, and Orange Maroc lists prepaid as available on SIM or eSIM. Expect the passport registration requirement to apply to a locally issued eSIM just as it does to a physical card.

Good to know

The street-vendor trap is the one to know: hawkers in Marrakech and Casablanca sell SIMs from all three carriers without asking for a passport, and haggle hard (a quote of EUR 20 for 40 GB dropped to EUR 10 on refusal). With no passport registration the SIM is not legitimately registered, it is unclear what plan is actually active, and the activation texts arrive in Arabic, so data can run out far sooner than promised. Also, every carrier loses signal on Sahara dune tracks, so do not count on any network out there.

Local carriers

  • Maroc Telecom

    Broadest reach in the Atlas, the Sahara and small villages. The coverage-first pick.

  • inwi

    The most reliable network in remote regions by several accounts, and the best value at Casablanca airport.

  • Orange Maroc

    Strong urban 4G with competitive city bundles.

Sources disagree: A June 2026 local-operator source claims city SIMs at 30-50 MAD for 5-10 GB and city stores 20-40% cheaper than airports, against first-hand tourist-pack figures of ~200 MAD and price parity; the two may describe different products. Non-resident eligibility and pricing for local eSIMs are unconfirmed.
