Budget Accommodation in Morocco
Youth hostels are found in all the major towns and cities, as are cheap hotels. Some will even offer a mattress on the roof for a couple of dollars. Otherwise there are camp sites on the outskirts of most of the towns which are incredibly cheap.
A Traveller's Budget for Morocco
Around US$20 per day should get you through here. To travel around the country it pays to take the train, Morocco has a very modern railway service. Otherwise the bus is cheap, and the network runs over much of the country subsidised by shared taxis which take you to the places the buses don't go, but along set routes, these are often shared. Make sure the driver puts his meter on or you'll be paying over the odds. The taxis are a little more expensive than the buses. If you want to eat cheaply you can live off Harira (thick soup) for less than 50c, resh fruit and veg are pretty readily available and the cafe culture is huge here, eating inexpensively shouldn't present much of a problem.
