Currency for Morocco

[donaldsc]

We are going to be in Morocco for 3 days off a cruise.  We stop at Casablanca, Siri and Agadar.  When we do something off the ship it will probably on a tour.  I don't see myself buying much if anything there.  I really do not want to buy Moroccan currency at my local exchange even assuming I could get it there.  Do I really need to buy some Dirhams.  If I do buy anything could I use dollars or Euros.  I know that I might get screwed on the exchange rate but I will spending such a small amount there that it really will not make a difference.  Would real restaurants or real shops accept Euros, dollars or even credit cards.

Why not get a little local money from an Atm in Morocco? when we were in there euros were OK in most places until my DH decided he wanted some nuts from a street food stall, a lovely lady saw the problem and bought them for us we gave her lots of euros in exchange. Using foreign money is part of the fun of travelling.

I go to Morocco quite a bit. Euros can sometimes be taken. But just get some Dirham from an ATM. You're there for three days...you'll probably need at least a little, there are still a lot of places (even in big cities) that are cash only. 

 

Absolutely don't use a currency exchange, that's never very beneficial.

We visited Morocco a few years ago. We used US dollars with no problems every where we shopped.
