You can then order your Choukran eSIM through the Airalo app with instant delivery direct to your phone. There's no need to queue at the airport or to register the Choukran eSIM with your ID, saving you lots of time.

Once you've ordered your Choukran eSIM, it will only activate when your cellphone actually connects to a supported network in Morocco. This means the validity period will only begin when you actually land in Morocco and turn your cellphone on.

Your Choukran eSIM works with the dual-SIM function on most modern smartphones. This means you can use your regular SIM card alongside the Choukran eSIM (e.g. to receive incoming phone calls and text messages on your normal phone number).

Alternatives to Choukran

The main disadvantage of Choukran is the fact you're getting a data-only service on the eSIM. You will not get a local phone number in Morocco when you're using the Choukran eSIM in your phone.

If you'd like to call or text whilst you're travelling in Morocco, you'll need to use your normal SIM card instead (on which international roaming fees may apply). Alternatively, you can side-step these charges by making your calls through WhatsApp or other similar apps.

If you're looking for a more fully featured SIM card with a local phone number in Morocco (starting with +212), you could consider getting a regular prepaid SIM card upon arrival instead. This will involve some additional hassle (e.g. queuing up at the airport to get your SIM card, a registration process for the SIM card, etc) but it can be preferable and better suited for longer-term use in Morocco.

Choukran Coverage

If you're using a Choukran eSIM, you'll have access to 4G mobile coverage in Morocco. This is provided by the following partner networks:

Coverage Provider	Network Type	Coverage Area
Orange	4G LTE	Morocco

There's no international roaming available on a Choukran eSIM. Therefore, you won't be able to use it outside of Morocco. If you're planning to visit multiple countries on your trip, you may need to get a separate eSIM for the other countries you visit.
