Money & budget

Do you need coins for public toilets in Morocco?

Yes, keep small coins handy for public toilets in Morocco, as many charge a small fee of around 2–5 dirhams, often paid to an attendant who may also hand you toilet paper. Public and roadside toilets, bus stations and some tourist sites work this way, so a pocket of loose change saves awkward moments.

It’s also worth carrying your own tissues or a small pack of toilet paper, because supply is inconsistent and some facilities have none. Hand sanitiser is useful too, as soap isn’t guaranteed.

In cafés and restaurants the toilet is free if you’re a customer, which is the easiest option when you’re out and about. But for travel days and sightseeing, a few coins and your own paper are the small essentials that make life easier.
