House of Photography
This museum is located within the alleys of the Marrakech medina. It houses a collection of black-and-white photographs from the early 20th century that document the people, landscapes, and architecture of Morocco. Visitors go here to see historical visual records of the country and to access the rooftop café, which provides a view over the surrounding medina.
Getting There
The museum is situated in the heart of the medina. From the city center, it is accessible on foot via the narrow streets of the old city. Depending on your starting point within the center, the walk typically takes between 10 and 20 minutes.
Time Allotment
Allow approximately 1 to 2 hours to browse the photography galleries and spend time at the rooftop café.
When to Visit
Visiting during the morning or late afternoon is advisable to avoid the peak midday heat. Like many attractions in the medina, it can become crowded during peak tourist seasons. Visiting during the shoulder seasons of spring or autumn provides more moderate weather for navigating the alleys.
