Allow time to explore before closing. Your ticket shows your date and entry time.

Finding the school

Dar Sanaa stands just outside the walls of Tétouan’s medina, across the street from Bab el-Okla, one of the medina’s seven historic gates.

• By taxi: show your driver the name of the school and of Bab el-Okla, and agree the fare or meter before setting off.
• On foot: check the route from your accommodation and allow extra time in warm weather.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• Toilets and other facilities may be limited; ask staff when you arrive.
• Shade in the galleries around the courtyard.
• Places to sit in the medina’s squares nearby.
• Cafés nearby in the medina for refreshments.

Travel light, and bring water and sun protection. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

Dar Sanaa is a working school in a historic building. Some areas may have steps, and workshops can be busy, with tools and materials close by.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask school staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Enjoy the school thoughtfully

• Keep to the visitor paths, walk rather than run, and supervise children.
• Leave tools, materials and finished work untouched, and ask before photographing students or craftsmen.
• Smoking and animals are not permitted on the site.
• Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

A little care lets the school’s students and craftsmen work undisturbed.

Make time for a pause

The medina across the street has cafés and restaurants for a meal before or after your visit.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Bring water with you, especially on warm days.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: follow your ticket’s instructions for where to enter the school.
• Dress for exploring: comfortable shoes, sun protection and a charged phone make the day easier.
• Leave space to linger: allow extra time for the workshops and a walk through Bab el-Okla into the medina.
