📍 Geographic Location of Berkane
Geographic Overview
The +212 5362 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of Berkane, located in the Oriental region of northeastern Morocco. Berkane serves as the capital of the Berkane Province and is known for its agricultural production, particularly citrus fruits. The code covers the urban center of Berkane and its surrounding communes, including Madagh, Sidi Slimane Echcharraa, and other nearby localities within the province's administrative boundaries.
Dialing Formats
When calling a Berkane landline from within Morocco, subscribers must dial the national trunk prefix 0, followed by the NDC 5362 and the subscriber's 6-digit local number. For example, a local number might be dialed as 05362XXXXX from any phone in Morocco. From abroad, callers must use the international access prefix (typically 00 or +), followed by Morocco's country code 212, then the NDC without the leading zero: +212 5362 XXXXX. It is important to note that the NDC is part of the full national significant number, which totals 9 digits after the country code.
Network and Numbering
The 5362 code is allocated to fixed-line PSTN services, operated primarily by Maroc Telecom and other licensed fixed operators. As with all Moroccan geographic codes, the prefix is tied to the physical location of the subscriber's line. However, number portability allows users to retain their geographic number when changing operators, though the number remains associated with the Berkane area for routing purposes. There are no overlay codes currently in effect for Berkane; the 5362 code is the sole geographic code for the area.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within Berkane, dialing the full national format (05362XXXXX) is always safe and recommended, as it ensures proper routing even if local 6-digit dialing is not supported. For international callers, always omit the leading zero and use the +212 country code. When calling from mobile phones, the same international format applies. Be aware that calls to geographic numbers are typically charged at standard landline rates, but international rates may vary depending on your carrier.
