Como se locomover
Trens
ONCF trains and Al Boraq
Comfortable rail network linking Tangier, Rabat, Casablanca, Fes and Marrakech. Al Boraq high-speed trains run Tangier to Casablanca. Book on the ONCF website or app, not through resellers.
Ônibus
CTM and Supratours
Reliable long-distance coaches to places trains do not reach (Essaouira, Chefchaouen, the south). Buy at the official window or online, not from touts.
Táxi
Petit taxis
Small city taxis (colour differs by city) with meters, often shared with other passengers. Drivers often refuse the meter with tourists, especially at stations; insist on the meter or agree a price first and hail on main roads.
Táxi
Grand taxis
Older shared cars on fixed routes between towns and to airports; the fare is split among passengers. You can pay for all seats to leave sooner.
App de transporte
inDrive / Careem / Heetch
Ride apps operate in the big cities; inDrive lets you propose a price. The UK Foreign Office warns some app rides use unregulated vehicles. Uber left Morocco in 2018; some sources mention it again (varies).
Transporte público
Tramways (Casablanca, Rabat-Sale)
Modern trams in Casablanca and Rabat; buy tickets at stop machines.
Dinheiro e câmbio
Moeda: MAD · Moroccan dirham
Morocco is still mostly cash: souks, petit taxis, small cafes and riads often take cash only. Cards work in bigger hotels, restaurants and shops. The dirham is a closed currency: you can bring in or take out only a small amount (tolerance about 2,000 MAD), so get it from ATMs on arrival and spend or change it before leaving. Exchange rates are standardised across banks. Keep small notes and coins, as change is often short. Card fraud is reported; prefer bank ATMs.
Gorjetas
Tipping is customary in Morocco and small amounts are expected for many services: waiters, guides, porters, parking guardians and people who help with directions. Amounts are modest; around 10% in restaurants is common (varies).
| Restaurantes | About 10% in sit-down restaurants (varies), less or rounding up in simple local cafes. Cash on the table is normal. |
|---|---|
| Cafés e bares | Leave a few dirhams for table service. |
| Táxis e apps de transporte | Round up petit taxi fares; no tip needed if the driver refused the meter and overcharged. |
| Hotéis | Small notes for porters per bag and for riad staff at the end of the stay (varies). |
| Passeios e guias | Guides and drivers on day and desert tours expect a tip, often given per day (varies). |
| Entrega de comida | A few dirhams or rounding up. |
Taxa de serviço: o que é verdade
Most restaurants do not add a separate service charge; prices on the menu are what you pay, sometimes with tax included. Check the bill for items you did not order: some places bring starters (olives, bread, salads) without asking and charge for them at the end.
Táticas de pressão para ficar de olho
People who give unasked directions, show you a 'shortcut', take you to a tannery or pose in photos (snake charmers, monkey handlers, henna artists) then demand money, sometimes large amounts. Agree prices before any photo, henna or guided walk, decline help you did not ask for with 'La, shukran' or 'Non merci', and keep walking. Do not show a large wallet when paying small tips.
Frases úteis
- L'addition, s'il vous plaît / الحساب عافاك (l-hsab 'afak) The bill, please.
- بشحال؟ (bshhal?) How much is it?
- لا، شكرا (la, shukran) No, thank you.
Etiqueta
- Dress modestly, especially in medinas and rural areas: shoulders and knees covered.
- Most mosques are closed to non-Muslims; Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca offers tours.
- Greet with 'Salam alaykum'; use your right hand to eat, give and receive.
- Ask before photographing people; many expect payment or refuse.
- Bargaining is normal in souks; start well below the asking price and stay friendly.
- During Ramadan avoid eating, drinking or smoking in public in daytime.
- Avoid public displays of affection; criticism of the King is illegal.
