  • Euros and dollars are accepted in Morocco, but the Moroccan currency (the Moroccan Dirham) is required for everyday use.
  • Taxis in Morocco are generally crime-free during day time, although city buses are not considered safe.
  • Travelers should avoid soccer stadiums and their environs on days of scheduled matches as large groups of team supporters have been known to become unruly and harass and assault bystanders.

    • Pay the fine on the spot and obtain a receipt of payment.
