Internet, SIMs and backup data for working from Tamraght

Last checked October 2026.

If your income depends on a video call going through, connectivity is the first thing to sort in Tamraght. It is solvable for a few hundred dirham, but no single connection here is reliable all day, so the setup that works is layered. Prices below come from our own pages and from the operators’ websites, listed at the end. About 11 MAD is 1 EUR.

What you need on day one

Arrival: a travel eSIM. An eSIM such as Airalo, installed before you fly, should give you data as soon as you land in Agadir: enough for maps, messages and a taxi. Treat it as the bridge, not the plan.

Then: a local SIM. A SIM is 20 to 30 MAD and 20 GB of data costs about 100 to 120 MAD (see your first 48 hours in Tamraght). Bring your passport. Prepaid lines in Morocco are registered to an identity document: inwi says line identification is compulsory under current regulations, and Orange lists the passport among the documents it accepts.

As an example of current pricing, Orange’s own SIM costs 20 DH and comes with 20 DH of credit. Its internet recharges (dial *3) range from 500 MB to 200 GB, valid for up to 30 days, and unused data can be carried over when you recharge again.

Maroc Telecom, Orange or inwi

All three work in Tamraght. In our experience Maroc Telecom has the best data coverage out here, which is why it is our default. This is what we could confirm:

Operator	Coverage and data	Local eSIM
Maroc Telecom	Best data coverage around Tamraght in our experience. Its website blocked our checks, so we have no official bundle prices; budget about 100 to 120 MAD for 20 GB.	Its site has an eSIM page, but we could not load it to confirm the terms. Ask in the shop.
Orange	Works in Tamraght. SIM 20 DH with 20 DH credit; internet recharges from 500 MB to 200 GB, valid up to 30 days.	Yes: in an Orange shop or online, with a Yo plan or through Yoxo.ma. Orange says any customer with a compatible phone can have one.
inwi	Works in Tamraght. Also sells Vacay WiFi, a prepaid portable 4G router (see below).	Yes: at an inwi agency, for new and existing customers.

Bundles and prices change often and can differ between shops, so treat these as a guide and confirm the price before you pay.

What about 5G?

Morocco’s three operators launched 5G in November 2025, according to the government portal maroc.ma, starting with the main cities. We have found no official source that lists Tamraght or the Agadir area, so check your operator’s coverage map before you count on it, and plan your work around 4G.

Your work setup

Think in layers: one primary connection and two backups that fail for different reasons.

• Primary: coworking fibre. Dedicated spaces run fibre at around 200 Mbps and hold up all day. Day passes run from about 80 MAD to 10 EUR. Compare them in coworking in Tamraght and Taghazout.
• Backup one: your phone as a hotspot. When the desk wifi blinks, a Maroc Telecom data SIM as a hotspot usually keeps you online. Keep enough data on it for a full day of calls.
• Backup two: a second SIM on a different operator. This is the backup that matters most. If one network is congested or down where you are sitting, the other often is not. A cheap Orange or inwi SIM, or an eSIM on a dual-SIM phone, costs little and means one network going down does not take you offline.
• Cafes: fine for light work. The better cafes run around 45 Mbps in the morning, and speeds drop by evening as the village logs on. See the best cafes in Tamraght for wifi.

Before an important call:

• Take it at a desk, not in a cafe or your flat, and avoid the evening if you can.
• Check both SIMs have data and signal at the spot where you will sit.
• Charge your laptop, your phone and a power bank.
• Keep the dial-in number to hand so you can join by phone if video fails.
• Pause uploads and cloud syncs that compete for bandwidth.

Wifi at rentals: check before you sign

Apartment wifi is often 4 to 15 Mbps, and a listing that says “fast wifi” tells you nothing. Before you commit to a month (our guide to where to stay in Tamraght covers the areas and prices):

• Run a speed test at the hour you would work. A test at 10am says nothing about 7pm. Ask the host for a screenshot taken at your call time, or test it yourself at a viewing.
• Look at upload, not just download. Video calls and file uploads depend on upload speed, which is often much lower.
• Ask where the router is. A router two floors down or behind thick walls means a weak signal in your room.
• Ask what happens when it drops. Who do you call, how fast is it fixed, and is there any backup?
• Check mobile signal indoors. If the wifi fails, your hotspot is the plan, so it needs signal inside the flat.

If a rental has no usable wifi, inwi sells Vacay WiFi, a prepaid portable 4G router aimed at travellers, with recharges advertised as unlimited 4G for 100 DH (7 days), 200 DH (14 days) or 300 DH (30 days). Orange has a battery-powered pocket router, the Pack WiFi D’jib. Neither site lists the router price, so ask in the shop, and remember both are only as good as the 4G signal where you put them.

Power and outages

Short power and wifi outages happen in Tamraght; we have no official data on how often. Keep a power bank charged and your laptop topped up before calls: a phone hotspot on battery often keeps working when the router goes dark. Power is 220V with type C and E plugs (see the briefing).

Staying longer

If a few weeks turns into a season, read staying in Morocco past 90 days. For the rest of the working setup, from desks to monthly costs, start at run your business from Tamraght.

Common questions

Can I get a Moroccan eSIM instead of a physical SIM?

Yes, with Orange and inwi. Orange offers eSIM in its shops or online with a Yo plan or through Yoxo.ma, to any customer with a compatible phone; inwi offers it at its agencies. We could not confirm Maroc Telecom’s eSIM terms online, so ask in the shop.

Do I need my passport to buy a SIM card in Morocco?

Bring it. Prepaid lines in Morocco are registered to an identity document, and Orange lists the passport among the documents it accepts.

Is there 5G in Tamraght?

Morocco’s operators launched 5G in November 2025. We have found no official source that lists Tamraght or Agadir, so check your operator’s coverage map and plan on 4G.

What should I do if the wifi drops just before a call?

Switch to your phone hotspot. If that network is weak, switch to a second SIM on another operator, and if both fail, join by phone. For call-heavy days, book a coworking desk with fibre.

How do I check the wifi at a rental before signing?

Ask for a speed test taken at the hour you would work, check upload as well as download, ask where the router is, and ask who fixes it and how fast when it drops.

Can I buy a portable wifi router in Morocco?

Yes. inwi sells Vacay WiFi, a prepaid portable 4G router with recharges from 100 DH for 7 days, and Orange has the Pack WiFi D’jib pocket router. Both are only as good as the local 4G signal.
