Money

You cannot change money outside of Morocco.

There is no restriction as to how much you bring in and if you change your money at a good bank such as BMCE or Banque Populaire and keep your currency exchange slips then you can change dirhams for your own currency again when you leave.

The dirham is the Moroccan currency and is divided into 100 centimes.

Notes are 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 dirhams; coins are 1, 5 and 10 dirhams. and 5, 10, 20 and 50 centimes. Please note it is illegal to export the currency. 

Banks, hotels and some large shops accept Travellers Cheques and major credit cards, and cash dispensers (ATM’s) can be found in larger towns.
In smaller places, hard cash is the best!

A money belt is useful and try not to carry all your money in the same place i.e. some in your belt and some in your wallet.
You may leave your papers and valuables in a hotel safe.
Theft is not a usual occurrence in Morocco although in the busy souks it is a higher possibility, so conceal money or leave it in hotel safes.
