Dar Batha Museum of Islamic Arts

Recommended by a guide and I went with no expectations. It is a newish museum (opened last year) and not many tourists when I visited so you get the whole place to yourself. The signs are in Arabic, English and French which makes it tourist-friendly. Traces the history of Morroco and Islamic arts/culture, the information is easy to digest and interesting. The garden is beautiful and so serene. Great time to visit in mid to late afternoon.

Museum of Islamic art ❤️ The museum is wonderful from the inside. There is a large garden that covers half of the museum’s area, which creates a calm and pleasant atmosphere. Inside, you can find many valuable antiques, traditional clothes finely sewn with gold, beautiful carpets, and rare manuscripts that reflect the rich history of the place. The museum also displays various weapons and silver swords that show the craftsmanship of ancient times. One of the most important and impressive pieces is the decorated copper astrolabe. The environment is very peaceful and relaxing, and I really enjoyed the visit. . . .

Must visit!!!. It was wonderful learning about the history of Islam in the region, traditional craftsmanship, and Moroccan art. The courtyard alone is worth the visit: calm, beautiful, and a nice break from the busy medina. A meaningful stop if you enjoy history and culture without feeling rushed.

Absolutely a must visit while you are in Fez. Located next door to Hotel Batha, this museum provides some insights into the incredibly long history of Morocco, of Fez and it's people. You may have the place to yourself, there were literally more guards than visitors and when you see the artifacts you will know why. The gardens and the courtyards are alone worth the price of admission.

Today I visited the Dar Batha Museum of Islamic Arts, and it was a wonderful experience. The museum showcases unique pieces that reflect our cultural roots and craftsmanship. From traditional ceramics and woodwork to intricate textiles, it gives you a real sense of how things were made in the past. It's peaceful, well-organized, and a great spot to appreciate the beauty of Moroccan and Islamic art. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Fes!

Recently reopened museum. Very beautiful with a great collection and curation. Very friendly staff as well that informed us that the museum has recently reopened its doors again. You can definitely spend a half day here, with English explanations everywhere. It’s a bit cooler inside than the 40 degrees outside temperature but still slightly warm, to keep in mind. The entry cost 60 Dirham

It is a hidden gem of Fes - calm , quiet and beautiful. It is a must go place in Fes.

Absolute must-see in Fès for many reasons: The collection of artifacts of Islamic art is extremely rich, and the design of the exhibition is modern and well made, with good descriptions in English, French and Arabic. I particularly liked the room with the timeline of Marrocan history and objects presented by this time-line. I learnt a lot, more than in any other museum I visited in Morroco. The objects (wood- and metal works, clothes, weapons, ...) are stunning. The exhibition rooms are organized around a beautiful and peaceful garden, which in itself merits the visit. Entrance fee was 60 dirham and absolutely worth it. I could have easily spent an entire day here or more. The museum is currently extremely underrated (which might be because it was recently renovated - I haven't visited it before).
