Moneychangers
» Any amount of foreign currency may be brought into the country.
» It is illegal to import and export dirham.
» Banks and exchange bureaus change most currencies, but Australian, Canadian and New Zealand dollars
are often not accepted. You'll occasionally be asked for ID when changing money.
» Moroccan banking services are reasonably quick and efficient.
» Rates do not vary much from bank to bank, although it doesn't hurt to look around.
» Travellers cheques are becoming harder to change. If banks accept them, you'll need to take your passport
along to change them (plus the travellers cheque receipt in some places).
» Hang on to all exchange receipts. They show you changed money legally, and you'll need them to convert
leftover dirham at most Moroccan banks and bureaux de change .
CEUTA & MELILLA
» In the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla the currency is the euro.
» The Moroccan banks on the enclaves' borders exchange cash only.
» Banks in Ceuta and Melilla deal in dirham, but at rates inferior to those offered in Morocco.
Tipping
» Tipping is an integral part of Moroccan life; almost any service can warrant a tip. You'll hear the word
baksheesh . Although frequently taken to mean a bribe, it generally means money paid for a service
rendered, and can include tipping.
