Route Sidi Abdelaziz, Marrakech 40000, Morocco
Architecture and Moorish designs are intricate and even better than those of Bihia Palace. Displayed pieces are of interest but the rooms themselves are the focus. Gatden was pristine as a diplomatic event was scheduled for the evening we visited. The Artifacts and the display room for Moroccan Jewish community were the premiere exhibits. PS Dar Bacha coffee in the museum was a highlight of our time in Morocco.
Review of the coffee inside: Damn good coffee. Especially for Morocco. Great selection. But utterly unprepared for the demands of 3rd wave coffee hipsters. Didn't understand the expectations and the Ethiopian Yrgacheffe was burned by my standards. Very little residual acidity and sweetness of what was probably pretty decent source material.
A must-see attraction in Marrakech. This would be a great place to spend 1 - 2 hours, just outside of the busy central Medina area.
Although this uncrowded museum was only partially opened as of December of 2017, it’s quickly become one of Marrakech’s top attractions. The early 20th-century Dar el Bacha Palace was home to Thami el Glaoui, pasha of Marrakech from 1912 to 1956. The palace itself is magnificent, with splendid hand-painted ceilings and some of Morocco’s finest zellij tile work. But I was particularly moved by the Musée des Confluences now housed there, which displays objects illustrating the similarities among Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Closed Tuesdays. Entrance fee 60 dirham
This place was amazing. Not even crowded the guards were very helpful. We get some amazing pictures.
