- Wifi
- Widespread
- Mobile
- Reliable 4G
- Weak spots
- Thick-walled riads
- Backup
- Local SIM / eSIM
Quick answer
Yes — wifi is widely available in Marrakech's riads, hotels, restaurants and cafés, and 4G mobile data is reliable across the city. Speeds are generally fine for browsing, video calls and maps, though they can dip in older medina buildings. For dependable connectivity on the move, pair riad wifi with a cheap local SIM or eSIM.
What to expect
Marrakech is well connected. Almost every riad, hotel and café offers free wifi, and it's generally good enough for browsing, messaging and video calls. Mobile 4G coverage across the city and tourist areas is reliable and fast, and 5G is rolling out. Riads sometimes have weaker signal in thick-walled rooms far from the router — the courtyard or terrace is usually the sweet spot — so ask about connectivity if you're relying on it for work.
For remote work and heavy use
If you need dependable internet for calls or work, don't rely on a single café's wifi. Combine your riad's connection with a local SIM or eSIM for 4G as a backup, and consider co-working spaces and laptop-friendly cafés in Gueliz, which cater to a growing community of remote workers and digital nomads. Speeds in newer hotels and co-working spots are typically the best. Our travel guides cover working from Marrakech in more detail.
