Baksheesh is woven into daily life — someone will help with a door, a bag or a photo and expect a small note. Carry plenty of coins and low notes.

Small dirham notes for many small services is how it works. In a riad, one tip for the whole staff at the end of the stay is common.

Rates shown are typical amounts, converted to local currency at approximately 27 Aug 2026. Tipping customs evolve and vary from region to region, so treat this as your best starting point rather than a hard rule. Where a bill already shows a service charge, that is usually the tip.

Common questions

How much do you tip in Morocco?

10% at restaurants, 10-20 dirhams for a porter or a guide's help, and 5-10 dirhams for small services throughout the day.

Do you tip in a riad?

Yes, and the common approach is a single amount for the whole team at the end of the stay, handed to the manager to share — around 100-200 dirhams for a few nights.

What about unofficial guides in the medina?

Someone who leads you somewhere unasked will expect payment. Agree a figure before accepting help, or decline clearly at the outset — this is where most disputes start.
