📌 IMPORTANT INFO
CASH EXCHANGE
The most recommended place to exchange cash is Hotel Ali, but in that area there are also other bank counters. It is located in Jemaa El-Fna square. The local currency is moroccan dirham and approximately 10 dirhams are 1 euro, so take that in consideration also when negotiating prices in the souks. In most restaurants it's possible to pay by card!
WEATHER
In February, the weather was always sunny but there are temperature changes, in particular in the evening so I recommend to bring more layers with you.
