    You'll have to wait until you get there. Moroccan dirhams wouldn't be a common currency and a bank would most likely have to order it for you. However they're only open for a half day tomorrow and won't open again until next Monday.

    AIB only do the common FX like had,gbp, aud. however BOI stock harder to get currency like Chinese yuan (rmb) although they don't advertise it. Ordering from your branch can take two weeks.


    Your best option is probably to go to BOI college green to the fx counter and see if they have Dirham. They had all the RMB I needed over the summer with no order. It just happened to be in the safe. But i can't imagine you having any issue exchanging eur for dirham in morrocco.

    The dirham is a closed currency, which means you'll have to wait till you get there to change it. All the hotel receptions have a bureau de change, which from what I remember as it's a few years since u was there, was a much better exchange rate than the airport. We also got questioned when leaving, as the money isn't supposed to be brought out of the country.
