Kasbah Museum
Located in the Kasbah district of Tangier, this museum houses a collection of artifacts and historical objects that document the culture and history of Morocco. It serves as a repository for regional heritage and was historically one of the primary museums in the country before similar institutions were established in Rabat and Tétouan.

The museum is situated within the elevated Kasbah area. From the Tangier city centre, visitors can reach the district via a short taxi ride or by walking uphill through the medina. The journey typically takes 15 to 20 minutes depending on the starting point and the pace of the walk.
Visit Duration
Allow approximately 1.5 to 2 hours to walk through the galleries and view the exhibits at a steady pace.
