Hsbc Uk Travel Money

How can I get the money from Morocco from the UK?

I'm going on vacation to Morocco in two weeks and still cannot seem to get money exchanged, most travel agents say they do not and can not get money out of the country. However, some friends they know, said they exchanged HSBC money through before leaving, but can not seem to find any evidence to offer this service.

By law do not allow the import or export Moroccan dirhams. In foreign currencies may be exchanged at the exchange bureau at the airport upon arrival, at a bank or your hotel. Always keep the receipt form for each transaction exchange, as necessary once again becomes Dirhams Sterling to leave Morocco. A golden rule is to change a lot of money at once. Most hotels usually exchange money at the same rate that banks charge no commission. But do not expect a small hotel in the south, for example, to change £ 250 without prior notice. Most reputable hotels and shops accept credit cards – VISA, Master Card and American Express. Even in markets when buying such things as carpets, leather or any other important matter, some cards are acceptable. Maestro and other cards are less widely accepted. VISA and Mastercard can be used at ATMs (found in large cities), and in some but not all, hotels, restaurants and shops. Note that it is now difficult or impossible to change traveler's checks in Morocco.
