Tipping & Etiquette
Recommendation: 5 to 10 percent tip standard in cafes and restaurants. Round up bills by 2–5 MAD in cafes and leave 5–10% cash in sit-down restaurants.
- DO Accept served mint tea using your right hand or both hands.
- DO Take off outdoor shoes before stepping onto carpets in private homes or riads.
- DO Eat and handle food exclusively with your right hand.
- DON'T Never utter critical remarks about the royal monarchy or religious faith.
- DON'T Non-Muslims must not enter active mosques (major exception: Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca).
- DON'T Do not take Moroccan Dirhams out of the country (strict currency export restriction).
Power Sockets & Tap Water
Plug Type & Electricity: Type C & E (220V, 50Hz – Europlug and standard Schuko fit without adapters).
Tap Water: Tap water is treated in large cities, but bottled mineral water ('Sidi Ali', 'Ain Saiss') is strongly advised for visitors.
Insider Tip: Accepting mint tea ('Berber Whiskey') is an important gesture of Moroccan hospitality. Keep small coins ready and bargain with patience in souks!
