The Best Way to Travel Through Northern Morocco Is by Train — Here's How to Plan Your Trip

"The National Photography Museum in Rabat is located within the remains of the 19th-century Burj Kebir Fortress. It stands out among the capital's museums for its historical setting." - Elle Benson Easton

Some good examples from local artists. Very diverse, some exhibits were a bit underwhelming and some were very good indeed. Such a good use of an ancient fortress. At 20MAD for entry it was excellent value for money. My only moan was the QR codes for English were not working.

Amazing museum!! The location is a bit out of the way but it’s very calm & quiet. With beautiful views of the ocean. I hope more people will visit, it’s absolutely worth it! The photo exhibition of Reza was touching and inspiring.

i can’t complain tbh, the pictures were poignant and each told a valuable story, it was around 2 gbp to get in which is 40 moroccan dirhams. the staff were very helpful. the only thing is that it’s pretty short, me and my dad got through it in around 30 minutes but i reckon you could definitely spend longer if you wanted to. there was literally no one else there apart from two other people, it was so quiet but then again we did visit on a random wednesday afternoon in the middle of june.

Very interesting museums with cool galleries and photos. Entry is free for Moroccans and 20dh for foreigners

Nice but small museum. If you have some extra time I would recommend going there. Photos are described in French and Arabic but if you scan the code you can read an English version as well.

The museum is situated on Avenue Mokhtar gazoulite by the sea and next to the sports park. the entrance of the museum is clean and has green spaces around it. Inside, there are plenty of photography work, surrounding the museum there is an outdoor exhibition area which looks up to the sea. the view is fantastic and you can hear the waves whilst you are walking around there is literally sea water few meters away and plenty of space to sit down and enjoy the seabreeze. I recommend taking lunch with you and chill out and enjoy the sea front. The building itself has a history and it looks like it was some sort of ww1 mega gun defense line, I would assume it was built by the Germans or French ? maybe if you have an idea about that please drop on comments.

This museum is located within a seaside gun emplacement built by German engineers in the late 19th century, as part of the rivalry among the Great Powers in Morocco. A nice place to watch the waves. As of May 2023, there is just one exhibit, about soccer in Morocco -- inspired of course by the national team's success in the World Cup. Various perspectives, including street soccer, fan excitement, even the strange ritual of tossing shoes onto wires.... But we were very disappointed that there is no permanent collection on display, very different from the photography museum in Marrakech. That said, the exhibit space is small and surely inadequate for that unless other spaces in the building could be used.

Amazing view of the ocean from the museum. The entrance fee is 20 MAD (10 MAD for students). The museum itself is not too big so you can enjoy the exhibition for a while then enjoy the view outside it and it is just walking distance from the lighthouse.
