Is coverage reliable in the medina and on the beach?

Essaouira town, the walled medina and the main bay all have solid 4G, so navigation, wind forecasts and social sharing work well. Coverage only thins on the rural argan-country roads inland and further down the coast toward Diabat and beyond.

Can I use the same eSIM in Marrakech and on the drive there?

Yes. This is a single national Morocco plan, so the same eSIM keeps working on the three-hour coach ride to Marrakech and anywhere else in the country. Signal is reliable in the towns and dips on the quieter stretches in between.

Good to know in Essaouira

Essaouira has a small airport with limited flights, so many travellers come by Supratours or CTM coach from Marrakech, about three hours away. Book seats on your eSIM data in advance, and download wind forecasts before heading to the beach.

Two simple ways to buy

Essaouira eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Essaouira eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Essaouira — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

Essaouira eSIM: your local data guide.

Breezy, bohemian Essaouira pairs a whitewashed UNESCO medina with a huge Atlantic bay that draws windsurfers and kitesurfers year-round. An Essaouira eSIM keeps your maps, wind forecasts and translation live as you wander the Skala ramparts, watch the blue boats unload at the port and hunt down argan-oil cooperatives on the coast road.

One eSIM for Essaouira and all of Morocco. It's the national Morocco eSIM — from $4.05/day with unlimited data, working the same in Essaouira as it does the moment you leave it.
