    Even though the palace has now been converted into a museum, the grandeur and luxury that Sultan Moulay Ismail had envisioned and created is still evident. The first feature that visitors will notice is that the palace was constructed around two lavish and elegant inner courtyards. When compared to other palaces that were built for sultans at around the same time period, Dar el Makhzen is considered to be of average size. However, it is every bit as luxurious and stylish as any of its counterparts. The detailed finishes to the wooden ceilings, the breathtaking marble fountains and marble courtyard will astonish visitors. The apartments of Dar el Makhzen, which were once occupied by the prince, are now home to the Museum of Moroccan Arts. Not only will guests be able to marvel at the exquisite mosaics and sculptured plasterwork, but they can also view lovely works of art that have been collected from across Morocco. There are fascinating firearm exhibits, manuscripts, silks, pottery and even carpets. Bronzes and mosaics that originate from ancient Roman sites within Morocco include Volubilis, Cotta and Lixus. The history of Tangier is also displayed here, with the funeral room drawing a lot of attention. Here visitors will be able to view a life-size replica of a Carthaginian tomb. A lot of detail has been added to this room, including the tomb of a child and small lead coffins. And if the museum has been an overwhelming cultural experience of beauty and information, visitors can rest for while in the tranquil surroundings of the Andalusian garden. The Dar el Makhzen in Tangier is truly one of Morocco’s more unique attractions. It combines the beauty of royal architecture with art and fascinating historical displays. A journey through the palace may make you feel as though you are entering a forgotten world or even intruding on history – a visit to Dar el Makhzen is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who visit.

    Standard lighthouse for someone like me, who doesn't know much about them. However it looks nice from the beach and if you don't mind walking I recommend that you take closer look at it. And when u walk towards it there is great view oncementary right on opposite side of street.

    (Translated by Google) A medina different from the others in Morocco. A lot of positions and very varied, however there is an area where they sell live animals such as chickens and that makes for an unpleasant smell in some parts. Behind the medina, there are some more humble posts where the prices are half. (Original) Una medina diferente a las demás de Marruecos.

    (Translated by Google) The old medina. I just love it! Well, beware of scams of all kinds ... finally all low prices is debatable! Go on a half price and find an arrangement. After there is also a lot of product in quality. Do not expect it to last long. It's really cheap and we know why. My false Caterpillar lasted me just 2 months !!! 😂🤣 quality clothes are found more easily and at a fixed price under the arches on the edge of the medina. Inside ....... do several times around over several days to a tracking ... Enjoy! (Original) L'ancienne médina. J adore! Bon, il faut faire attention aux arnaques en tout genre... enfin la bas tout prix se discute! Partez sur un moitié prix et trouvez un arrangement. Après il y a aussi beaucoup de produit de sous qualité. N'espérez pas que ça tienne longtemps. C'est vraiment pas cher et on sait pourquoi. Mes fausses Caterpillar m'ont duré à peine 2 mois!!! 😂🤣 On trouve plus facilement des vêtements de qualité et à prix fixe sous les arcades en bordure de la médina. A l'intérieur....... faire plusieurs fois le tour étalé sur plusieurs jours pour faire un repérage... Enjoy!
