๐ฒ๐ฆ How to Pay in Morocco
Morocco is a fascinating mix of ancient traditions and modern convenience. In cities like Casablanca, Marrakech, and Rabat, ride-hailing and food delivery apps work well. Inside the old medinas, however, streets are too narrow for cars, so you will be navigating on foot. French is widely spoken alongside Arabic and Darija, and most apps support both French and English. Cash (Moroccan dirham) is still essential at souks and smaller shops, though card payments are increasingly accepted at hotels, modern restaurants, and larger stores. Tipping is customary and expected in most service situations.
