Early morning or late afternoon are best, light is softer for photos and temperatures are cooler. Avoid midday when heat and tour groups are largest.
Budget tips
Entry typically costs around 70 MAD, with reduced rates for students and seniors; carry cash as smaller ticket offices may not accept cards. No regular free national days, though occasional cultural events can waive fees, and some city museum passes sometimes include temporary bundles.

About
Fakte të shpejta: Hundreds of carved cedar beams and fragments of imported marble lie scattered across sun-baked courtyards, hinting at a once-dazzling scale. Visitors often watch storks nesting on the high ramparts while shallow reflective pools throw back a startling, sky-blue glow.
Pikat kryesore: A favorite secret guides love to share mentions Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur ordering gilded ceilings and Italian marble, and you can still sense that excess when light catches flecks of old gold on the paving. Pause at midafternoon near the north wall to hear about a dozen storks clattering their bills while orange blossom scent drifts across warm stone, a sensory snapshot that surprises many.
Insider tips
- Wear sun protection and sturdy shoes, surfaces are uneven and shade is limited.
- Climb the western terrace for the best panoramic view of the central courtyard and sunset shots.
- Arrive at opening to avoid large tour groups and to enjoy softer light on the carved stucco and marble.
- Skip paying for an audio guide unless you want deep detail; a short guidebook or app covers the main highlights.
