[2025 Marrakech Attraction] Travel Guide for Dar El Bacha Museum (Updated Jul)

#Overseas travel #Morocco #Marrakech #Bacha Coffee 🇲🇦 Marrakech, Morocco ☕️ Bacha Coffee I visited Bacha Coffee, the most popular place during my trip to Marrakech, Morocco. Bacha Coffee, which was born in Singapore, opened in the place where Dar el Bacha Palace used to be. Many people think that the Bacha Coffee brand is over 100 years old because it says "1910 Marrakech" on the Bacha Coffee packaging, but 1910 is the year that coffee was first served at Dar el Bacha Palace! I saw a review that Bacha Coffee, which opens at 10 AM, should be open for an opening run because so many tourists visit. So I arrived at 9:45 AM, but the line was already incredibly long. It took almost an hour from the time Bacha Cafe opened at 10 AM to the time I bought my ticket. Including the Basha Coffee Museum, it costs 60 dirhams, and the general admission ticket costs 10 dirhams. There were so many people that we couldn't have coffee and snacks at the cafe. We had to give up eating at the cafe because we had to wait more than 2 hours. Instead, we could order bakery items and have them packed. So we ordered 2 croissants and 2 pound cakes and paid 100 dirhams. I was surprised that the lemon pound cake was so moist and delicious. We also had to wait in line to buy Basha coffee, but after buying this and that, we ended up spending 400,000 won just on coffee. Since it was said to be the highest quality coffee, we ended up buying a lot of different things. The Dar el Bacha Palace had such a pretty garden, so it was fun to not only buy coffee but also tour the palace itself. If you travel to Marrakech, Morocco, try Basha coffee and visit the Dar el Bacha Palace ♥️

Dar El Bacha is located at Dar El Bacha, Rue Fatima Zahra, Marrakech, 40000, it is open from Tuesday to Sunday, closed on Monday from 1000-1800. It was built in 1910 by Thami El Glaoui which was the most powerful political figure of the Moroccan south under French rule. Dar El Bacha represents a beautiful example of Moroccan architecture with fountains and orange trees in the courtyard, traditional seating area and hammam. The museum also holds temporary exhibits highlighting the different facets of Moroccan culture. Ceilings covered in colorful zellij mosaics and columns painted with natural pigments. A little tip from me, if you intend to visit the coffee shop, go and reserve the slot 1st, then continue your touring on the museum.

Bacha coffee was style over substance. Sub standard coffee notwithstanding egalitarian hype. Certainly the prices screamed daylight robbery. Although the location was beautiful, but the scam was impressionable. Food and desserts were good. There are other places to spend your money. Remember, Baccha Coffee has nothing to do with coffee as per locals who thinks there is a coffee shop in a truly noteworthy museum. Its legacy is a borderline scheming conceived by a Singapore firm who backed TWG. A point to serious think, is Morocco or the Marrakech location where the cafe is housed even known for coffee - and you will have your answer (simply playing on the mystique of Marrakech - which is far from its Key Asian markets which is hard for the audience to verify its faf) !! #bachacoffee #worldcoffeeshops #Darelbachamuseum #marrakech

Today was a special day where I could experience the beautiful culture and tranquility of Marrakech. ☀️In the morning, I went to Jardin Majorelle. This garden, beloved by Yves Saint Laurent, is a soothing space with a vivid harmony of blue and green. Surrounded by cacti, bamboo, and colorful plants, it felt like walking through a painting. It was a quiet time to forget the hustle and bustle of Morocco. 🕰️Opening hours: 8:00-18:30 🎨Afterwards, I went to Musée des Confluences, Palais Bahia. This museum, which was renovated from an old palace, is an art in itself. The space, woven with stained glass, delicate mosaic decorations, and historical exhibits, is truly a "cultural crossroads." I was able to feel the history and diversity of Marrakech firsthand. 🕰️Opening hours: 10:00-18:00 🍴Have lunch at Dar Cherifa, a hidden restaurant in the old town. Enjoy Moroccan cuisine in a quiet space renovated from a 17th century mansion. The couscous and tajine are delicious! In the courtyard where light pours in through the atrium ceiling, you'll feel like you've traveled back in time. 💰Price per person: 15-20€ 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: It was a day where I was impressed by the tranquility and beauty that could be found even amidst the hustle and bustle of Marrakech💫 #Marrakech #Majorelle Gardens #Bacha Museum #DarCherifa #Morocco Trip #Foreign Beauty #Culture and History Trip #Overseas Travel #Travel #Solo Travel #Overseas Love #Study Abroad #Morocco #Overseas #Travel Diary #Restaurant #instagood #instalike #instatravel #travelgram #instatrip #trip #travel #travelphotograp

#springwander #travel #marrakesh #morocco Arriving in Marrakesh, I checked in at my hotel, dropping off my bags and freshening up before setting out to explore the city’s rich history and vibrant culture. The first stop was the El Badi Palace, a stunning yet now-ruined palace that once showcased the grandeur of the Saadian dynasty. Walking through its vast courtyards and sunken gardens, I could almost imagine the lavish celebrations that once took place here. Next, I made my way to the Bahia Palace, a masterpiece of Moroccan architecture. The intricate stucco work, colorful tiles, and serene courtyards offered a glimpse into the opulent lives of Marrakesh’s former rulers. The peaceful atmosphere made it a perfect place to soak in the city’s artistic heritage. From there, I took a taxi to Albasha, where I stopped for a break at Bacha Coffee. The café, known for its rich selection of brews, offered a taste of old-world elegance. Sipping on a cup of their signature coffee while enjoying the historic ambiance was a true highlight of the day. Feeling refreshed, I walked to Le Jardin Secret, a beautifully restored 19th-century garden hidden in the heart of the Medina. The contrast between its lush greenery and the bustling city outside made it feel like a hidden oasis. From there, I wandered through the lively souks (markets), admiring the colorful stalls filled with handmade crafts, spices, and traditional Moroccan goods. The energy of the market was infectious, with merchants calling out their offers and the scent of fresh herbs filling the air. Continuing my exploration, I visited the Ben Youssef Madrasa, an ancient Islamic school with breathtaking geometric designs and peaceful courtyards. Standing inside, I marveled at the intricate cedarwood carvings and zellij tiles, imagining the scholars who once studied within its walls. As the sun set, I made my way to Jemaa el-Fnaa, the famous central square of Marrakesh. The atmosphere was electric, with street performers, musicians, and food vendors bringing the place to life. I sat down at one of the bustling food stalls for dinner, indulging in a traditional Moroccan meal—perhaps a flavorful tagine or a steaming bowl of harira soup, accompanied by fresh bread and mint tea. With a full stomach and a heart full of memories, I took a final stroll through the square, enjoying the magical night ambiance before heading back to my hotel, ready to rest after an unforgettable day in Marrakesh.

If you want to skip the crowds at the Ben Youssef Madrasa or the Bahia Palace, then the Dar El Bacha Museum is for you! I actually spent more time here than at the Ben Yusuf Marissa and in my opinion it’s equally as beautiful but with a lot less crowds, the entry price is a little cheaper too. It was originally a governors Palace and the governor built it in a way that would rival the other beautiful buildings in the city so it’s not as old but it is stunningly beautiful. It also houses some really interesting artefacts from the 18th to 20th centuries. #getgoing2025 #morocco #marrakech #palace
