Destination-specific money tips
- •While major hotels and restaurants accept credit cards (Visa and Mastercard are most common), always carry cash for smaller shops, market stalls (souks), and petit taxis.
- •ATMs are readily available in Fez, especially in Gueliz and around major tourist areas. Use ATMs attached to reputable banks to minimize the risk of skimming.
- •Tipping is expected for good service. A common guideline is 10-15% for restaurant meals and a few dirhams for porters, hotel staff, and taxi drivers.
- •Be prepared to haggle politely in the souks; prices are rarely fixed. Start at about half the asking price and meet somewhere in the middle.
- •Some tourist traps, particularly for souvenirs in the medina, can be overpriced. Research typical prices beforehand or ask your accommodation for advice.
