Moroccans are incredibly friendly and will work very hard to make visitors feel welcome and provide what you need. There is no request too great or too small for a Moroccan.

Euros are accepted in Morocco just about anywhere; you can negotiate prices and pay a lot of vendors using this currency. You are also able to use your debit or a credit card at the ATM’s located throughout Morocco. There will be a charge for overseas transactions from your bank and we advise travellers to check with their own bank before they travel.
