== At GreatVision ==
On 11 April 2018, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in. Morocco was placed into the first semi-final, to be held on TBD, and was scheduled to perform in the first half of the show.
Once all the competing songs for the tenth edition had been released, the running order for the semi-finals was decided through another draw. Morocco was set to perform in position 7, following the entry from the Czech Republic and before the entry from Croatia.
At the end of the show, Morocco was not announced among the top 10 entries in the second semi-final and therefore failed to qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Morocco placed seventeenth in the semi-final, receiving a total of 97 points: 51 points from the televoting and 46 points from the juries.
