Explore the enchanting Bahia Palace, a stunning 16th-century marvel in Marrakech, where intricate architecture meets serene gardens for a peaceful escape.
We went there around 4pm, we didn’t wait at all to get our tickets and the place wasn’t crowded so it was quite nice to be able to stroll around and enjoy the visit. I loved the way how well-oriented the visit was and finished with a small museum. Would love to visit again when the gates are renovated!

The place is quite big and nice.
Entry is through the servants room and leads upstairs to the palace area.
There are some nice spots to take good pictures too. The entry fee is 100MAD

Definitely recommend seeing. Was about 10€ and has very nice museum in the underground area of the Palace. But be aware the exposition is only in French. Very nice site.

This Palace is absolutely gorgeous. I came quite early in the morning, and it was not busy at all. No wait to buy tickets, and I had almost every room to myself to explore at my leisure. The history of the palace is wonderful, and they have done a lovely job with the restorations - some were still ongoing when I visited. There is a video on a loop in one section that talks about the history of the palace, but it is only in Spanish, so bonus points if you speak it! A lot of the information boards are only in Arabic and French, so consider downloading a translation app if you speak neither of those languages. If you like wildlife, there were several stork nests on the top of the ruins, and the clear blue sky on the day I visited made foe some beautiful photos.

There is no palace left, only its ruins. There is not much left to see. Ruins, some catacombs that seem recently renovated, but they are empty, with only some pictures on the walls and a small archaeological exhibition.
In 30 minutes you have seen everything.

I recently visited Bahia Palace, and it was a breathtaking experience! The palace is a stunning example of Moroccan architecture, filled with intricate tile work and beautifully landscaped gardens. The serenity of the gardens provides a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Walking through the ornate rooms, I was captivated by the detailed craftsmanship and rich history of the palace. Each corner tells a story, and you can truly feel the artistry that went into its design. The ambiance is peaceful, making it an ideal spot for photography and relaxation.
The location is quite central, making it easy to incorporate into a day of exploring Marrakech. I highly recommend visiting Bahia Palace for anyone looking to experience the cultural richness of Morocco!

An interesting place to spend an hour or two in Marrakech. Some beautiful architecture and rich history. It was a shame that some areas were closed for renovation, but still a nice place to visit.
I also loved watching the storks build their nests across the tops of the walls and occasionally spread their huge wings and fly across to the other side.
