Many people in Morocco use credit cards, especially in tourist places and bigger cities. Hotels, high-end restaurants, and modern shopping malls take major credit cards, like Visa, Mastercard, and sometimes American Express. But some places, like small shops, markets, and rural areas, might not take cards, so bringing some Moroccan dirhams with you is always a good idea.
Most places and towns have many ATMs, which makes it easy to get cash with a credit or debit card. Many banks offer help in more than one language, such as English, French, and Arabic. Remember that your bank might charge you fees for doing business abroad, so make sure you ask them beforehand. There may also be limits on how much you can receive at one time at some ATMs.
Let your bank know before you go to Morocco so that your card doesn’t get flagged for suspicious behavior. Also, keep in mind that some places may charge a small fee for using a credit card, so make sure you know ahead of time. If you use both cash and cards, you can have a stress-free trip while exploring Morocco’s fascinating culture and sights.
