Tipping Guide for Morocco
Tipping is customary in Morocco and expected for most services. It is known as "pourboire" (from French).
ATM & Money Tips for Morocco
The Moroccan Dirham (MAD) is a closed currency. You cannot buy or sell it outside Morocco, so exchange upon arrival.
Exchange at banks or official bureaux de change. Avoid street changers. Airport rates are acceptable for small amounts.
ATMs are widely available in cities and tourist areas. Notify your bank before traveling to avoid blocks. Withdraw in MAD, not your home currency.
Credit cards work at hotels, upscale restaurants, and some shops. Always carry cash for souks, petit taxis, and rural areas.
Keep plenty of 10, 20, and 50 MAD notes. Many small vendors and taxi drivers cannot break 200 MAD notes.
Always agree on taxi fares before getting in, or insist on the meter (compteur). Petit taxis are metered; grand taxis are shared.
