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.
Our guide gave each person or couple a small hand-made pouch with enough Dirham to use for tips or pay toilets for the trip. The hotel in Rabat changed a small amount of dollars for us at check-in also, which we mostly spent on some extra tipping and used the rest at the airport on our way out. Credit cards were accepted everywhere.

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!
