Dirhams

Do we need to buy Moroccan Dirhams before the trip? Can we use dollars and/or credit cards for shopping?

    We didn’t buy any, in fact I doubt you can before you go. We used credit cards everywhere. We gave dollars to the tour director

    Yes, I just checked, this is what AI says

    Overview
    It is generally not possible or advisable to get Moroccan dirham (MAD) in the US because it is a closed currency, meaning it is legally restricted from being traded outside of Morocco. You should exchange US dollars (USD) or withdraw cash at ATMs upon arrival in Morocco.

  • We didn't get any while we were there. We used credit cards and USD (if we needed to use cash).

  • I got dirhams out of an ATM about a block from the hotel in Rabat.

  • Ditto MCD

  • We did the same....local kindness tips!
