Bahia Palace, built in the late 19th century in Marrakesh, reflects the opulence and architectural sophistication of Morocco's Alawi dynasty. Initially commissioned by Grand Vizier Si Musa and later expanded by his son Ba Ahmed, the palace spans two hectares with a labyrinth of courtyards, gardens, and ornately decorated rooms. Italian Carrara marble, cedar wood from the Middle Atlas, and colorful zellij tiles highlight its intricate craftsmanship. Designed to showcase power and prestige, its expansive Grand Courtyard and lush riads remain a testament to Moroccan artistry. Today, the palace stands as a preserved cultural landmark, offering insight into the era's elite lifestyle and architectural traditions.

    What an amazingly beautiful place. It was breathtaking to see all the architecture and the colors throughout the building. The history behind it and everything was mesmerizing to me, and I highly recommend that you make the time to visit this palace. We had a wonderful time despite of the heat on a hot summer day.

    Such a beautiful palace with intricate tile and mosaic work, would have preferred if there were guides available and quite strange that they do not accept cards for payment! Would recommend a visit, tickets were pricier for foreigners.

    The details in this palace are more beautiful with every turn. So many beautiful mosaics, lots of kitties, and orange trees. It's mostly empty rooms, not furnished. Limited signs with information, you are mostly just there to appreciate the details. Lovely, and I'd returned again when I had more time! We were there about 1h 15m and definitely weren't able to see everything before our tour group had to move on.

    We arrived around 100p during the week. There was no line. The grounds and architecture are beautiful. I highly recommend stopping if you are in the area. The attention to detail is incredible... We enjoyed our time exploring the various rooms
