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.

Musee Tiskiwin

At this small, well organized, and informative museum, you’ll get the chance to learn about the history of Marrakech and the region in general. Stocked with artifacts from past centuries and other quality exhibits, you’ll leave feeling satisfied with your time spent there.

This is a small unique museum tucked in the Médina of Marrakech. I enjoyed the backstory of the owner/museum founder and the collection of North African art, clothing and jewelry

Lovely collection of Paul Bowles memorabilia here , plus Berber costumes and fabulous art collection ( watercolours oils ) . Tangier has few museums so it’s well worth a visit it’s easy to find and the south end of the medina

Musee de la Musique

The Music Museum is located in the Saadian quarter built in the 16th and 17th centuries. The reception apartment of the museum is a jewel of Arab-Andalusian architecture in Marrakech. Several rooms of the house are dedicated to temporary and permanent exhibitions. The belvedere terrace offers an exceptional view of the Medina and the Atlas Mountains and a restaurant. The diversity of musical traditions in Morocco is exposed in several rooms: Amazigh music, Jewish tradition, daqqa marrakchia, Gnawa music, Arab-Andalusian music. A true musical and visual experience, the Music Museum presents instruments, photographs and videos. The tour provides visitors with keys to understanding Moroccan music.

The beautifully restored tiled walls alone make this gem of a museum worth a visit; add to that the performance of traditional music, the intriguing photos and instruments on display, the highly informative mini lecture provided by the patron, and finally hot mint tea under the stars on the roof, and the whole experience is delightful.

Boucharouite Museum

Reviewed By cyriellel2018 - Marrakech, Morocco

Found this beautiful place on trip advisor while travelling to Merzouga. We were looking for somewhere to go and have lunch before heading to the desert. Don’t regret finding la maison Bouchrafine. It was a simple but delicious lunch. And the place is so nice. Shame we didn’t have our swimming wear to enjoy the pool after lunch.

Synagogue Slat Lkahal

Reviewed By Irl2304 - Drogheda, Ireland

As I had studied the Jewish Synagoge in College, I was very interested in the synagogue in Marrakech. On the day I visited it was very quiet., it is not used as a place of worship but is maintained by people. It is a small building but completes with everything.A friend who was with me loved the ambiance of the place. The synagogue is in the centre of the Jewish quarter, where Jewish people lived and worked. Both are worth a visit as the Jewish people are part of the history of Marrakech
