Pocket Wi-Fi in Morocco: renting one vs buying from Maroc Telecom, inwi or Orange
Many travellers search for a pocket Wi-Fi “from Maroc Telecom”, “from inwi” or “from Orange”. The short answer: none of the three operators rents one. inwi and Orange sell you the device, Maroc Telecom sells SIM cards and eSIMs. Here is what each option really costs for a one-week trip, what speed to expect, and when renting is — or is not — the better deal.
The essentials
- No Moroccan operator rents a pocket Wi-Fi to tourists: inwi sells a MiFi (about €27.50) with its Vacay-wifi passes, Orange sells the Wifi D’jib 4G+ (about €18.50), Maroc Telecom sells SIMs and a tourist eSIM.
- For 7 days, renting from Rent A Phone costs €34.30 (7 × €4.90), delivered and collected in Marrakech; buying inwi’s MiFi plus a 7-day pass costs about €37.
- Our router, inwi’s MiFi and Orange’s Wifi D’jib 4G+ are 4G devices. Opensignal measured a typical download speed of 27.5 Mbps on Maroc Telecom (January–March 2026).
- Travelling alone with an unlocked phone for a month or more? A local SIM or eSIM is usually the cheapest choice. For a family or a group, one router shared by up to 10 devices is simpler.

Do Maroc Telecom, inwi or Orange rent pocket Wi-Fi?
No. We checked the three operators’ official pages on 13 October 2026: none of them offers a rental pocket router for visitors. What they offer is to buy a device or a SIM card:
- inwi — Vacay-wifi: prepaid 4G Wi-Fi “that goes on holiday with you”. The passes are advertised at about €9.20 for 7 days, about €18.50 for 14 days and about €27.50 for 30 days of unlimited 4G. The device is sold: a MiFi at about €27.50, a 4G box from about €32, or the SIM alone.
- Orange — Wifi D’jib 4G+: a 4G+ Wi-Fi router sold for about €18.50 with SIM and activation included. Orange also has a visitor offer, Marhaba, an eSIM with unlimited internet from about €11.
- Maroc Telecom: no pocket router for travellers. Its tourist eSIM was listed at about €11 for 20 GB over 30 days and about €29.50 for 14 days of unlimited internet (operator page as seen in August 2026). Its 4G+ box is a home product sold from about €18.50 per month.
To activate a prepaid SIM in a shop you need to show an identity document — your passport, as a foreign visitor.
What a one-week trip costs, option by option
Example: 7 days in Marrakech, prices as published by each provider. Dirham prices are converted to euros at the 13 October 2026 rate.
- Rent A Phone (rental): 7 × €4.90 = €34.30 for one router shared by up to 10 devices. Delivered free to your hotel, riad or Airbnb in Marrakech and collected there at the end. A €50 deposit is held on your card, not charged.
- inwi Vacay-wifi (purchase): about €27.50 MiFi + about €9.20 7-day pass = about €37. You go to an inwi shop with your passport and you keep a device you may never use again.
- Orange Wifi D’jib 4G+ (purchase): about €18.50 for the device with SIM and activation, plus the internet recharges you choose — check in store how much data is included.
- Maroc Telecom tourist eSIM (per phone): about €11 (20 GB) or about €29.50 (14 days unlimited) — for each person. A family of four on unlimited: 4 × €29.50 = about €118.
The prices are close for a single traveller. The difference lies in everything else: a shop to find on arrival, a passport to show, a device to keep, one SIM per phone — or a router waiting for you at your riad.
What speed to expect in Morocco
Our router, inwi’s MiFi and Orange’s Wifi D’jib 4G+ use the operators’ 4G networks. 5G was launched by the three operators on 7 November 2025 and is spreading in the big cities; Orange also sells a Wifi D’jib 5G for about €138 (Orange Maroc online shop, checked 13 October 2026). Our router is a 4G model.
Real speeds depend on where you are and how busy the network is. In its April 2026 report (data from January to March 2026), Opensignal measured a typical everyday download speed of 27.5 Mbps on Maroc Telecom, 23.7 Mbps on Orange and 22.8 Mbps on inwi. That is plenty for maps, messaging, video calls and streaming.
Our router is a TP-Link 4G model (LTE Category 4): up to 150 Mbps in theory, up to 10 devices at once, battery up to 8 hours. It runs on the Maroc Telecom network, whose 4G covers 99% of the population according to the operator.
“Flybox” in Morocco: what are people looking for?
“Flybox” is the trade name Orange uses, in France for example, for its 4G box: a modem-router with a SIM card, designed to get internet at home without a fixed line. In Morocco, none of the three operators offers a product called “Flybox” on its official pages (checked on 13 October 2026). When travellers search for a “Maroc Telecom Flybox”, they usually mean one of these devices:
- Maroc Telecom Box Wifi 4G+: a home internet box on a monthly plan “from about €18.50 including tax per month”, unlimited internet with reduced speed once the cap is reached (Maroc Telecom 2025 Universal Registration Document). It plugs into the mains: it is not a pocket device.
- Orange Wifi D’jib 4G+: a 4G+ Wi-Fi router sold for about €18.50, SIM card and activation fee included (Orange Maroc online shop, checked 13 October 2026).
- inwi Vacay-wifi: prepaid 4G WiFi, with unlimited 4G passes at about €9.20 for 7 days, about €18.50 for 14 days and about €27.50 for 30 days; the device is sold separately (inwi website, checked 13 October 2026).
How this differs from renting: these devices are bought or come with a subscription, in a shop, with a SIM card registered in your name (passport required), and they are yours to keep after the trip. The router you rent from Rent A Phone is handed to you free of charge in Marrakech (hotel, riad, Airbnb or wherever you’re staying), costs €4.90 a day with a 2-day minimum, and goes back at the end: nothing to keep, nothing to cancel. For a stay of a few days or weeks that is simpler; if you come back to Morocco often, buying can work out cheaper.
When buying makes more sense — and when renting does
Buy a SIM or eSIM if you travel alone, your phone is unlocked and supports eSIM, and you stay several weeks: one SIM for one phone is the cheapest way to get data.
Buy a router from inwi or Orange if you live in Morocco part of the year and will reuse the device on every stay.
Rent if you are several people or have several devices (laptop, tablet, kids’ phones), if you want to be online the minute you land without looking for a shop, and if you would rather hand the device back at your riad than carry it home.
