Destination-specific money tips
- •ATMs are common in Fez, but inform your bank of travel plans to avoid card blocks. Withdraw larger amounts to minimize fees.
- •While credit cards are accepted in tourist-oriented establishments, always carry cash for souks, street vendors, and smaller cafes.
- •Bargaining is expected in the souks. Start with an offer around 50-60% of the asking price.
- •Tipping is appreciated. For guides, 50-100 MAD per day is common. In restaurants, 10-15% if service isn't included.
- •Be aware of 'official' guides vs. unofficial ones. Official guides charge more but are certified.
