Dar el Bacha

Located in the old medina of Marrakech, this former palace now houses the Museum of Confluences. Visitors go here to see traditional Moroccan architecture and art exhibitions that explore the intersection of different cultures.

Getting There

The palace is situated within the medina. From the city centre, it is accessible via a short walk or a taxi ride through the narrow streets. Depending on your starting point in the centre, the journey typically takes 10 to 20 minutes.

Duration of Visit

Allow approximately 1.5 to 2 hours to walk through the palace grounds and view the museum collections.

When to Visit

The site can get crowded during peak tourist seasons and mid-day. Visiting in the early morning or late afternoon is generally quieter. Be mindful of the heat during the summer months when outdoor courtyards are most exposed.
