Destination-specific money tips
- •Bargaining is expected in the souks; start at around 50% of the asking price.
- •While ATMs are common, some may have high withdrawal fees. Check with your bank.
- •Tipping is appreciated for good service: 10-15% in restaurants, a few dirhams for porters and guides.
- •Avoid exchanging currency at the airport; rates are usually poor.
- •Many smaller shops and cafes only accept cash (MAD). Carry enough for daily expenses.
