🇲🇦Cost of Travel in Morocco (2026): Daily Budgets for 3 Cities
Medina mazes, mountain-backed cities, and a craft culture centuries deep — from Marrakech's main square to Fes's 1,200-year-old university, all a short flight from Europe.
Daily budgets in Morocco
The cheapest city in Morocco is Fes, at $25–60 a day mid-range per person; the priciest is Casablanca, at $35–75 — about 30% more for the same style of trip.
| City | Budget / day | Mid-range / day | Comfort / day | Cheap meal | Mid-range hotel |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fes | $15–35 | $25–60 | $45–110 | 15–35 MAD ($1.50–3.50) | 350–800 MAD ($35–80) |
| Marrakech | $20–40 | $30–70 | $55–130 | 20–40 MAD ($2–4) | 400–900 MAD ($40–90) |
| Casablanca | $20–45 | $35–75 | $65–140 | 20–40 MAD ($2–4) | 450–1,000 MAD ($45–100) |
Per person in US dollars, flights not included. Mid-range is each guide's researched figure and includes a mid-range room; budget and comfort scale it by 0.6 and 1.8, so treat those as rough. How we work these out.
Plan a trip across Morocco
Set the nights you'd spend in each city. Per person, before flights; each night counts one day of that city's daily budget.
Cities
Morocco's largest city and economic engine — a modern Atlantic port with one of the world's largest mosques, Art Deco boulevards, and less tourist theater than Marrakech or Fes.
Morocco's spiritual and intellectual capital — home to the world's largest car-free urban area, a 1,200-year-old university, and the country's most intense medina experience.
The Red City — a maze of medina souks, riad courtyards, and snake charmers in the main square, with the snow-capped Atlas Mountains on the horizon.
Head to head
Two cities side by side — costs, best months and what you'd do in each.
