Musee des Sources de Lalla Mimouna

Reviewed By AdaTraveler314

Said Abbou leads his guests through his charming little museum in the middle of the desert, right near the road. His life's work is the astonishingly extensive collection on Moroccan culture and the preservation of the Artesian sources and pools within the museum. His private engagement deserves support. His calligraphies are also very beautiful.I recommend a visit.

I had the most amazing experience at Bleu de Fes. They are so knowledgeable and nice to work with. I purchased two rugs my first visit to them, went shopping around town and to other stores and loved them so much I went back the next day for more! A must stop on your visit to Tangier!!! I left the store with new friends and rugs

Museum Mohamed VI of Modern and Contemporary Art

Reviewed By waway1

Got a chance to visit this wonderful museum in Rabat from Casablanca. The staff was very helpful and the exhibits were intriguing for myself and my two young kids. We had such a great time and spent an hour and a half there. Also visited the coffee shop that is just around the corner and did an art project with them on the lawn across the street.
