Dar El Bacha Museum- Travel Tips What to See, How to Plan & Tours: Historical & Cultural; Morocco; 5 Reviews

Suggested Duration: 3 hours

Dar El Bacha Museum, located in the medina of Marrakesh, was built in 1910 as the residence of Thami El Glaoui, the Pasha of Marrakesh under French rule. The palace reflects a blend of Moroccan and European influences, with intricate zellij tilework, carved stucco, and a symmetrically designed riad garden. It later became the Museum of Confluences, showcasing Morocco's diverse cultural influences through its exhibitions. The museum also houses Bacha Coffee, a restored period salon celebrating Morocco's coffee culture. After sustaining damage in the September 2023 earthquake, it reopened in November 2023 following restoration efforts.

You can pay entrance just to coffee Bacha(10Din). Good to come as early as possible as it is really popular and busy. You can choose from hundreds of coffee, have breakfast, cake….the choices are seriously huge. Super friendly people who are happy to help with your choice. My coffee (salted caramel hazelnut) wasn’t the best one but I like really strong coffee. This one was too sweet and caramel killed the taste of coffee (no sugar, no syrup)

⁉️ BRIEFLY ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Museum mainly focused on how to work on wood and different styles. I don't think the museum is the real deal, focus on the finely adorned tiled walls and the chiseling. Also famous is the bar they have inside, among the most famous around. ⏰ 40min

We arrived late, 30 minutes before they close. We went there mainly for the coffee shop but it was too late for that, so we just spent some time in the museum it self. place was almost empty which was perfect! Nice and quiet museum i think it was around 50dh.

Dar El Bacha is definitely a nice place to visit while in Marrakech and an experience. However, there isn’t much to see at the museum itself. Pretty much a lot of the museums in Marrakech showcase similar things as displayed in Dar El Bacha. It is the cafe that draws most people. The cafe has a long wait time. I myself had to wait for over an hour to get a table. Once seated, it took some time to get actual service. They have a very extensive menu for coffee and they have a lot of food options. The servers helped us pick our coffee and once we got our coffee and food, we were settled in. The food was average. It is a nice atmosphere and you can easily spend a lot of time at the cafe.

Nice place to spend time in the garden while you wait for your table. Lots of coffee options. You can enjoy what a human can create. Colors, spaces, flavors and nature. All of that in the same place. It is an example on how trade can bring together multiple cultures.
