The Moroccan dirham is the local currency. Travellers can use cards in many hotels, restaurants and shops in larger cities, but cash remains important in smaller towns, markets and rural areas.
ATMs
ATMs are common in cities and larger towns. Your bank may charge foreign transaction or withdrawal fees.
Cash on tour
Carry enough cash for lunches, small purchases, tips and places that do not accept cards, but avoid carrying more than you need.
Exchange
Use banks, official exchange offices or reputable hotel services. Keep exchange receipts if you may need to convert remaining dirhams before departure.
Tipping
Tipping is common in tourism and hospitality, but amounts vary. Treat tips as recognition for good service rather than a substitute for a clearly agreed tour price.
