😠 Went to the gallery with my Moroccan friend. No hello, no goodbye. One of the owners (glasses, tall) sneaked up behind us and watched us the whole time. Like we were suspicious to him. Looked at us just seriously. No good vibe at all, we just wanted to look at art! Three older french people, looki... People often mention gallery, visit,

    What a quiet, elegant place to visit. Tons of art to enjoy without being hassled and you can also buy the best argan oil from there for a great price. Lovely friendly people who will explain things to you without any pressure if you wish to know more.

    Went to the gallery with my Moroccan friend. No hello, no goodbye. One of the owners (glasses, tall) sneaked up behind us and watched us the whole time. Like we were suspicious to him. Looked at us just seriously. No good vibe at all, we just wanted to look at art! Three older french people, looking like money, walked in an were treated completely different... EDIT: Your response says it all. We we were amazed by the art, behaving respectfully, being quite. We didn't make any "gestures", that you can't even clarify. Art should be accessible to everyone, not only the people you think are worth it. Disappointing!

    I came across the gallery by chance and wow it was worth it. Art works from all kinds of artists. Sculptures, painting, ceramics, modern, representational and impressionistic. Its all here over several floors. Not just the art work but the building is great. A huge courtyard compared to most and stretches up to 5 floors with a stunning view from the top. The building is being restored steadily so the upper floors are not filled with works but there is still plenty up there. If you were only in Essaouira for a short time this is a place you must visit, even if only for the views.

    Owned by three brothers. We didn't took pictures of the art, because you need to go and see it for yourselves :) Maybe when you will arrive, three brothers will have a restaurant and caffee on the terrace.

    LOVE this gallery. One of my favourite places to visit in Essaouira! Less touristy and gives you a beautiful insight into the works of local artists. The entry is free. Highly recommend going here!

    Interesting art Gallery. It contains diverse types of arts; paintings, engravings on the wood, things made out of metal.. all of this made by moroccan artistes.

    One of the single most beautiful and uniqe places I've found in Morocco. This gallery truly gives the feeling of its namesake kasbah, with endless rooms to explore, full of mysterious and unexpexted beauty.

    We bought a beautiful piece of art there! Really nice staff and diverse paintings. Do not only have a look also take the time to actually buy something. The collection is more than special!

    A wonderful gallery with lots of arts, a must visit if you’re passing by Essaouira !

  • 5/5 Scott C. 4 years ago on Google
    Definitely check out this gallery. It is a very eclectic collection that ranges from local contemporary artists to works from other parts of Morocco and from many West African countries. Very friendly owners, relaxed and happy to answer your questions. A calm place to get away from the hustle of the medina.
