The place is cheap to enter, easy to find and it's in the Medina. The place itself is rather uninspired and not terribly big. Still, it does have some interesting art on the wall and ceilings and it also has some shade. For it's price point, it's not bad.

Beautiful ceilings, very ornate, but when you've seen one, you're pretty much done, unless you have an informative guide, which we didnt.

Plan to spend some time here! I brought a sketch book and a fisheye lens and couldn't get enough. It is truly an inspiring place. Don't buy the tourist gifts here, save your money for the market. Don't take pictures of the locals, or offer them money if you do.

doesn't take long to have a look round and it is very near kosybar so you could go for an alcoholic drink after.

Beautiful palace and gardens. Needs to be better maintained to preserve and show respect for the carving and artwork. Very peaceful and beautiful.

It doesn’t take you a long time to visit this place. However, the place is lively, full of colors. The walls, the ceilings are impressive. We visited the palace in the morning, so there were no many people, so after the visit, we had quite a long break under a big orange tree in the courtyard! It is worth visiting... More

Great daytime activity and very affordable at only 10 MAD. Right down the road from Koutoubia Mosque and Djemaa El Fna, adjacent to El Badi palace and the Mellah. Easy to find and well worth a visit.

This is a medium sized palace that takes a bit more than an hour to see. If you plan well then you can avoid the tours and crowds by arriving just as it opens, or within the last hour of the day - in this way you can see the lovely gardens, the highly ornamented interiors, and the stately rooms...

Unfortunately, I couldn't see everything, when I was there. The entrance fee was 1 Euro what I saw was worth much more. When I left, lots of tourists arrived. So I would say, it is better to go there in the morning.

For the entrance price this was worth a visit - 10 dirham entrance fee. You can only see a very small part of the palace so only need about 30 mins to an hour here. The courtyards were lovely with orange trees and the architecture and detail on the ceilings is definitely worth seeing. There was less to see than... More
