Changing money on the street is illegal and should be done in an official bureaux de change only, which can be identified by a golden sign. In a bureaux de change, there is no commission charge, and visitors will be issued a receipt which they must keep in order to exchange dirhams upon departure. Dirhams are only available for conversion within the country, and remaining currency must be converted back prior to departure.

Some credit cards are accepted (i.e. Visa and MasterCard), yet surcharges will likely apply. Banking hours are generally: Mon-Thurs 8:15am-12:15, and 2:15-5:15pm; Fri 8:15am-11:15, and 2:30- 5:30; Sat 9am-1pm.
