Planning a trip to Morocco? Your smartphone can be your best travel companion—if you have the right apps installed. After years of exploring every corner of this beautiful country, I've learned that having the right apps on your phone can save you time, money, and a lot of unnecessary stress.
Whether you're coming for the Africa Cup of Nations 2025 or just exploring Morocco's incredible cities, mountains, and deserts, these apps for Morocco travel will make your journey smoother. From booking train tickets to ordering food delivery at midnight, these digital tools have become essential for both tourists and residents.
Let me share the top 10 apps and websites that will transform your Moroccan adventure.
1. Stadium Entry & Tickets: Yala App
If you're coming to Morocco for the Africa Cup of Nations, this app is absolutely essential. Without it, you won't get into any stadium.
Yala manages your Fan ID, verified identity, stadium entry QR code, and seat category. It works together with the official ticketing website ticket.cafcafonline.com, where you can buy tickets or purchase resold tickets from other fans.
One important thing: forget about buying tickets from unofficial sources or the black market. The system only recognizes official tickets purchased through the platform. I've seen frustrated fans at stadium gates with fake tickets—don't let that be you.

2. Getting Around: Transportation Apps
Morocco has several transportation apps, but they don't all work in every city. Here's what you need to know:
Ride-Hailing Apps
Uber currently operates only in Casablanca and Marrakech. They plan to expand to other cities, but as of now, these are your only options.
In Tangier and Casablanca, you can use Karim and Tango to book taxis. These apps work well, and the drivers are usually reliable.
If you're heading to Agadir, Indrive is popular there, though it's not officially authorized yet. You'll also find Roby for booking taxis in Agadir.
A small tip from my experience: always check that the driver confirms your destination before starting the trip. Most drivers are honest, but clear communication prevents misunderstandings.
Train Travel: ONCF App
For traveling between major cities, download the ONCF app (Office National des Chemins de Fer). This is Morocco's official railway app, and it's the only one you need for trains.
You can book tickets, choose your schedule, and reserve seats in advance—which is crucial during busy periods like the Africa Cup. The trains connect Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier, and Marrakech. Unfortunately, there's no train to Agadir yet.
Google Maps
This classic app works perfectly in Morocco for walking directions and driving navigation. I use it every day, and it's never let me down. Plus, it's great for finding restaurants—which brings us to our next category.
3. Food Delivery: Glovo
After a long day of traveling or watching matches, sometimes you just want food delivered to your hotel or apartment. Glovo is the number one delivery app in Morocco.
You can order from restaurants, fast food places, local snacks, groceries, and even pharmacy items. The service covers most major cities.
Picture this: you've just watched Morocco win a penalty shootout at midnight. You're exhausted but hungry. You open Glovo, order a delicious Moroccan meal, and 30 minutes later, you're eating in your room. That's the beauty of Glovo in Morocco.
The country is known for its service culture, and Glovo fits perfectly into that tradition.
4. Finding Good Restaurants: Google Maps Reviews
Before trying a new restaurant, I always check Google Maps reviews. The ratings are usually accurate, especially when there are many reviews.
Here's my advice: avoid restaurants with 5 stars but only four reviews. Instead, look for places with 4.3 or 4.4 stars and 900+ reviews. That's a real sign of quality. Moroccans love good food, and they're honest in their reviews.
5. Payment Options: Apple Pay & Google Pay
In Marrakech, Casablanca, and many other Moroccan cities, Apple Pay and Google Pay are becoming the norm. You'll find them accepted in cafés, restaurants, shopping malls, and major stores.
This is convenient if you don't want to carry lots of cash or deal with currency exchange.
However, I recommend keeping at least 200 dirhams in cash. Morocco still has many small vendors, taxi drivers, and markets that only accept cash.
Exchange Options
You have three payment options in Morocco:
- Digital payments with Apple Pay or Google Pay (keep some cash for small purchases)
- Currency exchange offices where you can now pay with international credit cards to get dirhams
- ATM withdrawals using your international card
Compare your bank fees and exchange rates to find the best option for you.
6. Language Help: Duolingo
Understanding basic Moroccan Arabic (Darija) will completely transform your experience in Morocco. Even a few simple phrases will earn you smiles and better service.
Duolingo now offers Moroccan Arabic lessons. Just 5 minutes a day will help you learn essential phrases for taxis, markets, cafés, and daily conversations.
When I use Darija with shopkeepers, their faces light up. It shows respect for the culture and makes connections easier. You don't need to be fluent—just knowing greetings and basic phrases makes a huge difference.
7. Instant Translation: Moro AI
If learning a language isn't your thing, don't worry. Moro AI will handle the communication for you.
This app translates Moroccan Darija instantly—audio, text, and even documents. You speak in your language, and it translates to Darija. The other person speaks Darija, and you hear it in your language.
It's perfect for quick conversations when you're in a hurry or need to understand something important.
Why These Apps Matter
Having these apps for Morocco travel downloaded before you arrive will save you from running around asking questions, wasting time, or paying more than necessary.
You'll move around easier, eat better, pay conveniently, and communicate with locals more effectively. That's the difference between a stressful trip and an enjoyable adventure.
Morocco is an incredible country with warm people, rich culture, and unforgettable experiences. The right technology just helps you enjoy it all more smoothly.

Final Thoughts
Morocco is ready to welcome visitors in 2026, especially with the Africa Cup of Nations bringing excitement to the country. Whether you're coming for football or just to explore, these apps will be your digital travel companions.
Technology can't replace the magic of walking through Marrakech's souks, drinking mint tea in a riad, or watching the sunset over the Sahara. But it can make the practical parts of travel much easier, giving you more time to enjoy those special moments.
