In Morocco, it's important to have Moroccan Dirham for everyday purchases even though some tourist spots accept Euros, US Dollars, and Sterling. You can obtain Dirham through bureau de change at airports, big banks, and hotels, or from cash machines that take most credit and debit cards in major towns and cities. However, bureau de change outside Morocco usually have unfavorable conversion rates, so using a debit card at an ATM is the simplest and cheapest method. Credit cards are often rejected in rural areas and small towns, and cash points are scarce. To avoid any issues, inform your bank beforehand if you intend to use your card. The Moroccan central bank establishes the value of the dirham, and some larger retailers accept Euros and British Pounds Sterling. In emergencies, traveler's checks are useful, but it may take a while to cash them. You'll need a currency exchange slip to exchange excess Dirham.

Morocco Desert Tours

Private and shared tours have some differences that are worth noting. In private tours, you will have exclusive use of the vehicle, and the accommodations, such as rooms and tents, are private as well. Additionally, you can choose to dine separately from the group if that's your preference. Another important distinction is that private tours are guaranteed; once you confirm your booking, we will provide the tour as agreed. Shared tours, on the other hand, depend on demand and require a minimum of four participants to proceed. If there aren't enough participants, you can either cancel for free or negotiate to continue the tour as a private tour.
