Q: What is the history of Bahia Palace?

Bahia Palace was built between 1866-67 by Si Moussa, a former slave who became Grand Vizier of Sultan Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman.

Bahia Palace is renowned for its exquisite architecture, which features a blend of Islamic and Moroccan styles.

The palace is a popular inclusion on many Marrakech sightseeing tours, and visiting with a guide affords a greater appreciation of the palace’s varied architecture and unique decorative features.

Q: How long does it take to tour Bahia Palace?

With 150 rooms and gardens about the size of two football pitches, there’s plenty to see at Bahia Palace. You can take in the highlights in an hour, but a comprehensive tour takes up to two hours, including the Petit and Grand Riads, the Grand Courtyard, and the Harem.

suely_k, Nov 2025

It was a good experience....

It was a good experience. The guide was attentive. The driver was always available. We visited the main spots and even got some valuable tips. The Majorelle Garden part was a bit rushed.

Wonderful experience exploring fantastic city

We had such a wonderful morning exploring the special sights in Marrakech. We could not have asked for a more informative and helpful guide, nothing was too much trouble and he was happy to accomodate our special interest in architecture, and my husbands many and varied questions. Could not recommend more!

A great day

This was a very pleasant day touring the Marrakech highlights. Hassan was exceptionally helpful throughout the process — from booking to following up on a purchase I made (a large rug that will need to be shipped). We never would have found some of the tucked away gems in the Medina.

TraciAnne_W, Jan 2025

Spectacular guide made this amazing, but didn’t visit sites in description.

We didn’t do the sites advertised, but this one of the best tours we have ever been on because the guide, Aziz, was phenomenal. We started a little rocky because I hadn’t bought the entrance tickets to Majorelle Garden (I am not sure if I was informed or not that I had to purchase online in advance). The tickets were not available the day we’d scheduled the tour. However, the tour operator said that he’d return to take us there a few days later when I was able to secure the tickets. The day of our tour, we were met by Aziz….as stated, a phenomenal guide. He took us around the city and spent a great amount of time explaining history, religion and culture. Was an absolute fantastic experience. Our group (age ranges 18-65), were all impressed and highly satisfied. However we didn’t visit the places in the description, but did visit an historic school not in the description that was amazing. At the end, Aziz indicated that we didn’t need a guide to majorelle. We decided to do it on our own and did not contact the tour operator to provide a different guide: If you are set on the itinerary I recommend reconfirming it before the tour.

Great experience in Marrakech.

This tour gets you to the City main points including the Medina. The highlight, however is the Majorelle garden and the YSL museum. Beautiful place in the heart of Marrakech. We were advised by the tour company to purchased the ticket in advance and we're glad for that, otherwise it could've been impossible to enter because there was no availability. Thank you very much.
