Morocco is friendly to tourists, but in order not to spoil your vacation and maintain good relations with Moroccans, you should know the rules for entering this country. Shopping in this country is already a pleasure in its process, lovers of shopping who have already been to Morocco cannot but agree with this.
Currency
Any currency in Morocco can be imported without restrictions. You need to declare an amount equivalent to 15,000 Moroccan dirhams or more. However, in the country you can only pay with dirhams, so the exchange is inevitable. The exchange rate is the same everywhere, but you should not turn to illegal speculators. Dirhams are prohibited for export, and you can exchange money back only with a receipt for the initial exchange. The exchange of dirhams for other money cannot exceed 50% of the amount declared upon arrival.
An amount in a currency that does not exceed the declared amount is allowed for export, otherwise the purchase of foreign currency in Morocco must be confirmed with a certificate from the bank.
Allowed goods
One liter bottle of spirits and one liter bottle of wine, one block of cigarettes, 250 grams of raw tobacco, 50 cigars, perfumes up to 5 grams and items for personal use are not subject to duties.

Morocco has a tax-free VAT refund system, but there are few outlets that cooperate with it. For a refund of 20% of the funds, you need to present a receipt for the goods at the airport.

A total ban includes materials containing elements of violence, pornography and erotica, drugs, products that violate the laws of Islam and offend believers. Weapons and ammunition can only be imported with a permit.
Features of the customs of Morocco
Moroccan customs officials work sluggishly and slowly, perhaps this is how their eastern mentality manifests itself. It makes no sense to protest and try to speed up the process; for this, the visitor can be immediately deported.
Passport and visa
The passport must be in good condition, without scuffs and folds. The requirements for it are standard: two blank pages and a margin of validity of six months from the date of return from Morocco. This document and migration card is enough for Russians to travel to Morocco.

Morocco is an original eastern country. At the same time, it does not elevate Islam to an absolute, and the infrastructure and services here are quite European. The regime of entry into this country is facilitated. In Marrakech, you should not buy any things and souvenirs, because this is an expensive city for tourists. Precious metal products can be bought in Fez, carpets, fabrics and leather goods in Rabat, and clothing from well-known European manufacturers is sold at a good price in Casablanca.
