Magical music evenings!
Through an arch, and down a lane close to the Fontaine and Mosque Mouassine (and the Place des Epices), and just 40DH (approx €4 entry). In a beautifully restored Saddian house, you can find a wide range of interesting exhibits about music and art plus gorgeous architecture and a pretty rooftop cafe. Try to get to one of their Mon/Wed/Fri music evenings, a real experience for 100dh (approx €10) per person.

Hidden treasure in the Medina off the beaten track
Set down a calm alley in the midst of the busy Medina, this museum offers a relaxing 45 minutes or so to explore the different music and cultures of Morocco, and wider Africa, as well as the art of the artist Mellakh. The building itself is worth the 40dh, with decoration you probably won’t see in our tourist destinations. The staff were friendly and helpful. It’s also nicely signposted. Well worth a visit!
