Southern Morocco offers such a change of scenery for children that they will believe themselves in an adventure film: century-old kasbahs, mountain roads, oases and palm groves… And of course the desert, with its large expanses of golden sand where you can take a camel ride and spend the night in a tent. What to take for a real nomad, learning to tie a scarf, remembering the difference between erg and reg and chatting with the Berbers of the region.

While every traveller's spending habits may differ slightly, we have estimated the average daily expenses to help with budgeting for your next trip. Here you'll find the average cost for a meal or drink and advice for best practice in tipping.
Tipping is not compulsary, but is encouraged for good service in Morocco. The general rule of thumb is to tip 5~10% in restaurants or to private services such as porters. Your guide and driver would also appreciate this kind of gratitude at the end of your tour. For Taxi Drivers, typically rounding up the fare for convenience is recommended, as well as at market stalls.
Morocco is home to some of the oldest retail cultures in the world, meaning there's no shortage of souqs waiting to be explored. Haggling in Morocco is expected and welcomed.
