    The Batha Museum is one of the most important tourist attractions in Fez in general, as it is one of the oldest museums in the city. It was built in the second half of the nineteenth century. The museum’s decorations are all characterized by the beautiful Andalusian character. . It was later converted into a museum that attracts a large number of visitors during the last century. The museum yard is characterized by the presence of a large number of perennial plants in addition to luxurious water fountains, and colorful mosaic stones.

    Lovely museum but a great disappointment as the renovations continued for more than 4 years till this day. One of the main museums in Fes, yet they taking all their time much more than necessary, I believe they would just change and say permanently closed.

    Nice little museum and an awesome garden, largely overlooked by the teeming tourist hordes.

    Dar Batḥa (Arabic: دار البطحاء, pronounced Bat-ḥaa), or Qasr al-Batḥa (Arabic: قصر البطحاء), is a former royal palace in the city of Fez, Morocco. The palace was commissioned by the Alawite Sultan Hassan I in the late 19th century and completed under his successor Abdelaziz. It was transformed into a museum of historical arts and crafts in 1915, with a collection that today includes more than 6,500 objects. The palace is located near Bab Bou Jeloud, on the western edge of Fez el-Bali, the city's old medina district, and near Fez el-Jdid, the new medina district. Another historic palace, Dar al-Beida (Arabic: الدار البيضاء), was originally part of the same complex but was separated for other official uses in the twentieth century and remains today an official residence, inaccessible to the public.

    The Batha Museum is a museum located in the city of Fes, Morocco. It is housed in a historic building and showcases a collection of traditional Moroccan art, including ceramics, textiles, jewelry, and metalwork. The museum provides an insight into the rich cultural heritage of Morocco and is a popular tourist destination. Visitors can learn about the history and traditions of the country and appreciate the skill and craftsmanship of local artisans.

    A nice big palace with an interior garden and a small collection of artifacts. Posted explanations are very light, but there's a guard in every room who's happy to answer questions. There were hardly any visitors when we came, so it was nice and quiet.

    Small exposition, nice garden, small entrance fee(10MAD).But be aware of guides, they aren't part of museum and after 10min of poor English they will ask for money.

    Beautiful sight and building, but as said earlier, he descriptions could be more clear and informative. Not many language options either.

    The museum itself is a nice palace with a beautiful and quiet garden. The exhibition of old pottery without any descriptions available in english isnt really worth the visit.

    The State website says Dar Batha is closed for renovations and everyday I walked by there it is closed. How are you able to go inside this place and leave a review since it is closed for renovations?

    I have no clue why there are recent opinions about the museum as it has been closed for the last couple of years.

    Beautiful place. A good breakfast and friendly owners. Offered us mint tea on arrival. Great courtyard views. Only one issue with the shower water drainage blocked but otherwise room was clean with a functioning heater

    Nice place to enjoy Moroccan culture.

  • 2/5 João S. 5 years ago on Google
    We were taken to this restaurant by a worker from our Riad, like most other customers that evening. The place is quite beautiful, but it’s expensive, the food is not very good, and the staff isn’t very pleasant. The manager or owner sat grumpily in a corner overseeing the room and bickering with the waiters over the tips (the service is not included). Go elsewhere
