Morocco is a fascinating destination that caters to every budget. Whether you are a backpacker eating street food or a luxury traveler staying in palatial riads, you can make Morocco work for you.
The Backpacker Budget ($30 – $50 per day)
If you stay in hostels, travel by local bus (CTM), and eat primarily street food or at local cafes, Morocco is incredibly affordable. You can easily travel on $40 a day, including museum entrance fees.
The Mid-Range Budget ($80 – $150 per day)
This is the sweet spot. For around $100 a day, you can stay in a beautifully decorated authentic Riad in the medina, travel comfortably via First Class train, and eat tagines at highly-rated restaurants every night.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are ATM fees high in Morocco?
Most Moroccan banks charge a withdrawal fee of about 20 to 30 Dirhams ($2-$3). It is highly recommended to withdraw larger amounts at once to minimize these fees.
Can I use US Dollars or Euros?
While some high-end hotels and large carpet shops will accept Euros or USD, the vast majority of transactions must be done in Moroccan Dirham. Do not rely on foreign currency for daily expenses.
