Dar El Bacha Museum

Dar El Bacha Museum is an absolutely stunning place. From the moment you enter, you're captivated by the beauty of traditional Moroccan architecture — the intricate zellige tiles, carved wooden ceilings, and serene courtyards. The exhibitions are well-curated, offering a fascinating insight into Moroccan art, culture, and history. The museum is peaceful, clean, and very well maintained — ideal for a quiet cultural break from the busy medina. The staff is friendly and professional, making the experience even more enjoyable. And don’t miss Bacha Coffee at the end of your visit — a must for coffee lovers!

Our favorite place to visit here in Medina. We were recommended to come here by our riad owner and boy we were glad we did. The most exquisite interior and the most beautiful garden to explore and just to take in. And the entrance fee was very reasonable (but only cash, mind you). We truly loved the place. We would've been keen on visiting the cafe as well, as we heard it's breathtakingly beautiful however there was a 45 min waiting time so we didn't stay for that.

Absolutely stunning place. Would highly recommend. Opens at 10am. Queued at 9.40 and managed to get seated straight away at opening times. Big queues behind us when it opened at 10. Paid 60 Dirum for entrance to coffee shop and museum. Service was impeccable and we were not rushed. Such a unique experience. A real oasis in the middle of Marrakesh.

An experience and one which is very pretty. We arrived at the museum at 10:30 because the reviews said to arrive early. When we arrived the queue to get a ticket was small, and took about 5 minutes to reach the front desk. We were not fussed about getting a Bacha Coffee (which we were informed was a 3hr wait time, we didn't bother). It cost 60 MAD each and took about 30 minutes to view the whole place. I would say it is worth it, but it's not a day out, more of a stop off.

A lovely little museum that has great popularity, although it is a bit of a waiting space for a wonderful coffee shop called Bacha coffee. The coffee shop seems to be what everyone queues for and if you're not in the museum queue early enough to get in the first seating of the day then you'll have a long time to wander around the museum waiting for your table. (People queue from 9am for a 10am opening, but we were successful at 9.30am. there are 25 tables in the cafe). You won't be disappointed in either of the museum or cafe.

Superb building with marvellous examples of artisan restoration. I preferred this visit over the Bachi Palace for two reasons, firstly, it is even more beautifully decorated with tiling and carvings that have been authentically and beautifully restored. There was information on the artists that collaborated to make this building a wonder to behold. Secondly, apart from the ever-so-popular coffee shop, the place was far less busy and a wonder to behold. Perfect for lovely photographs and quiet enough to sit and admire the wonderful craftsmanship. Definitely a must visit!!

This is a nice spot with beautiful architecture and a charming garden featuring orange trees laden with fruit. Bacha Café is located here as well – a popular stop for many visitors. It’s probably worth a visit, especially if you’re planning to try the café. That said, the place is quite small and there isn’t much to see beyond a quick look around. Sitting by the garden and enjoying the trees while waiting to be called into the café is probably whats gonna happen.

I was a bit disappointed during our visit to the museum because we bought tickets for foreigners, but only one area/exhibit was open. The other exhibits were closed for renovations or theme changes. The ticket seller should have informed us in advance; otherwise, we could have simply purchased tickets for Coffee Shop Bacha instead. When we arrived at the coffee shop, the waiter mentioned that the waiting list was 1.5 hours long and provided us with a waiting alarm. After waiting for what felt like an eternity, we checked back in, and they finally told us we could enter. I felt like we wasted a lot of time, especially since the alarm never beeping…. Anyway, the coffee was really good. Honestly, it would have been better to just visit the coffee shop and skip the museum altogether. Give 3 stars because of the Coffee Shop, but maybe 1 star for the Museum.
