Fodor's Expert Review Dar el Bacha Musée

Built in 1910, Dar el Bacha was once the home of the infamous Thami el Glaoui who, during the French protectorate of Morocco, was considered one of the most powerful men in the south of the country. This palace was where he would host and entertain famous guests such as Josephine Baker, Winston Churchill, and Charlie Chaplin. 

The building was renovated and opened to the public for the first time in 2018 and features exemplary Moroccan craftsmanship. Zellij-tiled walls in multiple different styles, a traditional courtyard resplendent with citrus trees and local fauna, and rooms housing exhibits that tell the story of coexistence between the faiths in Morocco are some of the highlights.
