Finding the palace

El Badi Palace is in the Kasbah district of Marrakech’s medina, at Ksibat Nhass.

• By taxi: show your driver the palace name and address, 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 for visitors.
• Shaded corners to pause out of the sun.
• Places to sit between the courtyard and the pavilions.
• Cafés nearby in the Kasbah for refreshments.

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

A visit that works for you

El Badi Palace is a historic site with wide courtyards. Some areas have uneven ground and steps.

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

Enjoy the palace thoughtfully

• Keep to the visitor paths, walk rather than run, and supervise children.
• Leave walls, plants and historic surfaces untouched, and do not climb on the ruins.
• 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 helps protect the palace and its atmosphere for everyone.

Make time for a pause

The Kasbah around the palace 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 palace.
• Dress for exploring: comfortable shoes, sun protection and a charged phone make the day easier.
• Leave space to linger: allow extra time for the courtyard, the pavilions and the views.
