Dar Si Said Museum

دار سي سعيد

A late 19th-century noble residence, now Morocco's National Museum of Weaving and Carpets, with painted cedar ceilings and a beautiful garden courtyard.

The residence was built by Si Said, brother of Ba Ahmed, the owner of the Bahia Palace, and it is only a few minutes' walk from the Bahia Palace. It is now Morocco's National Museum of Weaving and Carpets. It displays Berber and urban carpets, textiles and clothing, and the painted wooden reception room upstairs is a highlight. The entry fee is about 30 to 60 dirhams. It is much less crowded than the Bahia Palace, which makes it a good place to appreciate traditional architecture in peace.
