Travel to Morocco: what you need to know about the dirham

Many foreign tourists arrive in Morocco every year. For those who are not yet fans of the destination and wish to visit the kingdom, it is good to have some useful information about the dirham, the Moroccan currency.

Can I get Moroccan Dirham in the UK and is it a “closed currency”? The sun explains that it is not possible to buy Moroccan currency in the UK, as it is a closed currency. This currency can only be obtained in Morocco. Most regular travellers to Morocco have cash or a bank card and wait until they are on holiday to get the necessary money. Once in Morocco, it is possible for any traveller from the UK to withdraw pounds sterling in cash and change them. If he has any dirhams left over from a previous trip, he is allowed to bring in or take out 2000 DH at a time. As for bank cards, they are not accepted in some places. However, some shops and restaurants accept these cards.
