Re: Money - Morocco
Hi Sherm,
Thanks for your question.
I have taken the following from our Morocco country dossier:

Banks and Bureau de Change facilities can be found everywhere in Morocco. It is advisable to exchange money at banks, in large hotels, and authorised Bureaux de Change where an official receipt will be issued (which you may have to present on departure when changing any remaining Dirhams back into the original currency). It is usually possible to exchange money at the airport on arrival, although the Bureau de Change does not normally accept travellers cheques. There are ATMs in the Arrivals Hall and in most major towns and cities.
Our starting point hotels have limited exchange facilities, so we would recommend that you do not rely on these for obtaining currency within Morocco.
It can be very difficult to change traveller's cheques outside the major cities of Casablanca, Fes and Marrakech. Therefore we advise that you bring an alternative source of funds (cash and credit/debit cards) in GB
