About Bahia Palace
The Bahia Palace is one of the great residences that UNESCO counts among the later architectural jewels of the medina, a sequence of courtyards and gardens beside the Mellah; La Mamounia lists it, with the Saadian Tombs and Majorelle, among the essential places of the city.
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Bahia Palace before you go.
