Useful tips for visiting Marrakech
ALWAYS negotiate prices before buying or taking services. Expect to pay 30-50% of initial asking price. Agree on taxi fare before getting in.
Beware of 'helpful' strangers offering directions — they'll demand money. If lost in medina, find a shop and ask politely. Or use GPS offline maps.
Best time: April-May or September-November. Summer (June-August) is extremely hot (38°C+). Riads with pools are essential in summer.

location.payment.subtitle
CASH KING! Souks, riads, taxis mostly cash-only. Digital payments slowly arriving - Careem accepts cards. NEW Dec 2025: Currency exchange operators now accept Visa/Mastercard! Traditional markets 100% cash. Very cash-dependent city.
ATM Maroc and BMCE Bank ATMs reliable. NEW Dec 2025: Exchange operators accept Visa/Mastercard for buying foreign currency or loading prepaid cards! AVOID: Jemaa el-Fnaa square exchange kiosks - poor rates. Souks, riads, taxis rarely accept cards.
Tipping expected everywhere! 10-20 MAD for guides, porters, bellhops. 10% restaurants. Small tips for any service appreciated.
Follow standard precautions
Generally safe but expect aggressive touts, fake guides, and scams. Keep valuables hidden. Avoid dark medina alleys after 10pm. Women may receive unwanted attention. Negotiate prices beforehand.
