Currency
The national currency is the dirham, divided into 100 cents. We recommend making the change in hotels since they apply the same charge as banks. In some restaurants and bazaars of large cities,other currencies might be also accepted.
Documentation
Passport with a validity of 3 months from entering the country is necessary. The maximum stay allowed for tourists is three months per year. Spanish citizens do no need visa.
For other VISA information, we recommend to ask directly to the Moroccan embassy in your country. You can find it here: http://embassy-finder.com/

The climate is typical Mediterranean off the coast, ranging from 12 degrees in winter to 25 degrees in summer. The interior continental climate has a warmer climate throughout the year. In the summer, temperatures can exceed 40 degrees, but much lower at night. Most rainfall is between North and Middle Atlas.
