Destination-specific money tips
- •Bargaining is expected in the souks; always start lower than you intend to pay.
- •ATMs in tourist areas are generally reliable, but inform your bank of travel plans to avoid card blocks.
- •While cards are accepted in many tourist establishments, carry plenty of cash for smaller vendors and taxis.
- •Tipping is appreciated for good service, typically 10-15% in restaurants and a few dirhams for porters or guides.
- •Be aware of 'tourist prices' for certain goods and services; compare prices and don't be afraid to walk away.
