The Moroccan Dirham (MAD) is Morocco’s official currency and is issued by Bank Al-Maghrib. Morocco remains a largely cash-based economy, and while cards are accepted in some places, most UK travellers will rely on cash for everyday spending.
Understanding how to use cash, cards and ATMs and where to get the best Moroccan Dirham exchange rate helps avoid unnecessary fees and inconvenience.
The Moroccan Dirham is a closed currency, meaning you are legally limited to taking around 2,000 MAD per person (circa £200) into or out of Morocco.
Besttravelmoney.com recommends that UK travellers do the following:
Cards are accepted, but cash is essential.
Using Cards in Morocco
Visa and Mastercard work reliably in:
Contactless payments are limited and should not be relied upon.
Using Cash in Morocco
Markets, taxis, cafés and smaller shops are usually cash-only.
A mix of cash and a low-fee travel card work best for most UK visitors.
Paying for taxis and transport in Morocco
Cash is the standard way to pay for transport.
Long-distance buses such as CTM are reliable and accept card payments at booking offices.
ATMs are widely available in cities, towns and airports, but withdrawals are usually capped at around 2,000 MAD per transaction.
UK travellers should be aware that:
ATMs located inside banks are safer than street machines. Al Barid Bank (the Moroccan Post Office) does not charge local ATM fees, though queues can be long.
Tipping is customary but modest.
Having small Moroccan Dirham notes makes tipping easier.
For most UK travellers, Morocco is a destination where cash planning matters:
Morocco offers excellent value, but it is not fully card friendly. A sensible mix of cash and cards makes travel smoother and cheaper.
You can order Moroccan Dirhams online in the UK from travel money providers, or collect them at a bureau de change. However, exchange rates in the UK are often less competitive than in Morocco. A smart approach is to take British pounds in good condition and exchange them once you arrive — city bureaux usually offer the best rates.
Cards (Visa and Mastercard) are accepted in hotels, high-end restaurants, and shopping centres. But day-to-day spending in Morocco still relies heavily on cash. Markets, taxis, and smaller shops usually won’t take cards, so plan to carry a good amount of cash in small denominations, and keep a low-fee travel card as backup.
Yes, the Moroccan Dirham is a closed currency. You can only legally bring in or take out up to 2,000 MAD (about £200) per person. This allowance applies individually — so if two people are travelling together, they can carry 4,000 MAD in total, and a family of four can carry 8,000 MAD.
Children are also counted within this limit, so in theory they can each carry 2,000 MAD as well, although most families prefer to keep the money with the adults. Any amount above the allowance must be exchanged before leaving Morocco.
Al Barid (Post Office) ATMs are the only ones with no service fee.
