Bahia Palace (Palais de la Bahia)
Best time to visit
Early morning or late afternoon are best; temperatures are cooler and light is flattering for photos, plus groups thin out then.
Budget tips
Small admission fee paid at the gate; no regular free days, but check the Marrakech museum pass or combined attraction passes for savings and buy tickets on-site to avoid third-party markups.

About
Fatti rapidi: You can wander through roughly 160 rooms, where carved cedar wood, stucco arabesques, and colorful zellij tiles create shifting patterns of light and shadow. Patronage by Si Moussa and later Grand Vizier Bou Ahmed left opulent courtyards and secret nooks, while orange trees scent the air in sheltered gardens.
Punti salienti: Slip into the main harem courtyard and watch sunlight turn the painted cedar ceiling cobalt, while a small central fountain whispers under the tang of orange blossom. Local guides often point out roughly 160 rooms and the private apartments of Bou Ahmed, where tiny hidden doors and mirrored panels hint at palace politics and family drama.
Insider tips
- Arrive at opening to beat tour buses and get quiet shots of the main courtyard.
- Wear comfortable shoes, many floors are tiled and thresholds can be uneven.
- Cover shoulders when entering to respect local customs and avoid unwanted attention.
- Head to the rooftop near sunset for wide views over the medina and the Atlas foothills.
