Arrive Dubai, Eta 5:40 AM
Flight from Dubai to Casablanca, Mohammed V Apt. EK0751
Depart 7:25 AM. Eta 12:55 PM.
Try to buy SIM cards in the airport.
  • Meditel kiosk at Casablanca Airport for a 4G SIM card. 
  • The process of getting the sim card was pretty easy. The kiosk is now a little after the terminal 1, near the end of the airport, still at the departures level. I went straight away to the departures level, between terminals 1 and 2 and just found the Maroc Telecom kiosk, I just asked them for the Meditel and walked another 50m.
  • Some say Orange is best, then Maroc Telecom.
  • Best prepaid SIM cards reviewed.
Try to get Moroccan Exit cards from Casablanca Airport.

'Hi David, about the credit card it's all right. The transfer is confirmed; you'll find our driver at the exit of the arrival gate with a board "RIAD LE J". Please keep me updated if there are any changes. Best, Antonio'

Mobile Phones

For unlocked phones, local mobile SIM cards are a cheaper option.

Morocco has three GSM mobile-phone networks: Méditel (www.meditelecom.ma), Maroc Telecom (www.iam.ma) and Inwi (www.inwi.ma).
Coverage is generally excellent, apart from in the mountains and deserts. 4G is available in most cities and many towns.
If your mobile phone is unlocked, buying a prepaid mobile SIM card will likely be cheaper than using your phone on roaming. Offers change frequently, but at the time of research, Dh100 got you around 200 minutes of calls plus up to 10Gb of data. Not all packages offer international SMS services.
Domestic calls cost from Dh1 per minute, international calls from Dh2.50 per minute.
Calls are cheaper between 8am and 8pm.
You need to show a passport or other form of identification when buying a SIM card.
Téléboutiques, newsstands and grocery stores sell scratch cards for topping up your credit. Look out for special deals offering double recharge credit.
