Best Exchange Bureau in Casablanca: Maarif, Downtown, Sidi Maarouf
Maarif, Downtown, or Sidi Maarouf? Casablanca is huge, and exchange rates vary enormously from one neighbourhood to another.
Casablanca is Morocco's economic powerhouse. This is where the largest volumes of foreign currency are exchanged. For individuals, this means it's possible to find excellent rates — as long as you know where to look.
1. Maarif: The Historic Reference
The Maarif neighbourhood (around the Twin Center and Rue du Jura) has long been known for its many exchange bureaus. The density is such that bureaus fiercely compete with each other. It's an excellent spot to negotiate if you have a large sum.
2. Downtown (Prince Moulay Abdellah)
Downtown and Avenue des FAR are packed with exchange bureaus. It's convenient for tourists staying in city-centre hotels. However, beware of bureaus too close to major hotels that may offer less competitive "convenience rates".
3. Sidi Maarouf / Californie: For Professionals
In business districts like Sidi Maarouf or Casanearshore, exchange bureaus are used to serving corporate clients. Transactions are fast, professional and discreet.
⛔ Mohammed V Airport Warning:
As anywhere, avoid exchanging money at Mohammed V Airport if you can wait to reach the city. The difference on 1,000€ could pay for an excellent dinner in Casablanca!
