« 😢 They beat us up with prices!
•
They say that in Marrakech it’s better to take euros, 💵 but that’s not entirely true. The locals love to quote prices in euros, but you still have to pay in the local currency. So, we didn’t see any significant differences between euros and dollars. ❌ The main thing is not the currency!
They don’t convert into dirhams (the local currency) directly. Dollar/euro ➡️ dirham. So, with double conversion, you can lose a not-insignificant percentage of your funds.
💵 We got a dollar card. The commission for withdrawing cash was about 4%, and when paying with the card - around 3%.
If we had been withdrawing with a local currency card, the commission would have been between 7% and 13%. 😱
The difference is noticeable, isn’t it? »
