Destination-specific money tips
- •ATMs are common in Casablanca, but always check for potential foreign transaction fees from your bank.
- •While credit cards are accepted in many tourist establishments, always carry sufficient cash (MAD) for smaller shops, markets, and local transport.
- •Tipping is expected: 10-15% in restaurants if service isn't included, a few dirhams for hotel staff, and small amounts for guides and drivers.
- •Be aware that prices for souvenirs in souks are often inflated for tourists; polite bargaining is expected.
- •Exchange offices can offer slightly better rates than airport kiosks, but ATMs usually provide the most competitive rates.
