Tipping in Morocco can feel confusing for visitors. This simple guide to tipping drivers in Morocco explains what's customary, how much to give, and how tipping works alongside guides, hotels and restaurants — so you can show appreciation without over-thinking it.
The short version: tipping is appreciated but never mandatory, and a little goes a long way.
Not mandatory
Tips are a thank-you for good service, never a requirement.
Rough guide
Around €5–€10 per day for a driver is common.
Guides too
Licensed city guides are usually tipped separately.
Reward great service
Give more when a driver goes above and beyond.
How much to tip your driver
For a private driver, many travellers tip in the region of €5–€10 per day, more for exceptional service or a long, demanding tour. On a week-long trip, tipping at the end in one lump sum is perfectly normal. There's no fixed rule — give what feels right for the service you received.
Tipping beyond the driver
Small tips are customary across Morocco: a few dirhams for restaurant staff, hotel porters and café waiters; a little more for a licensed guide who spends the day with you. Keep some small notes and coins handy. It's a gesture of thanks, not a tax — and always your choice.

How much is normal?
Around €5–€10 per day is a common guide for a private driver, adjusted for the length and quality of the trip.
Should I tip in dirhams or euros?
