Dar Batha Museum Tours and Activities

Please note: The Dar Batha Museum is temporarily closed for renovations.
One of Fez’s most notable museums, home to a vibrant collection of Moroccan arts and crafts, the Dar Batha Museum (Museum of Moroccan Arts) makes a worthwhile additional to any sightseeing trip, offering a unique insight into Fez’s artistic heritage.

Guided tour of Fes
The fountain in En Nejjarine square is the most beautiful in Fez with its decor of
zelliges and its cedar wood canopy. The Medersa El Attarine is also a pretty
representation of Hispano-Moorish architecture (comparable to the Medersa Ben
Youssef in Marrakech (although less well maintained!).
The souks are surely the great interest of Fez. The visit of the district of
Tanners are the most impressive. The Tanners are barefoot in
mostly natural dye tanks. The skins have been previously
stripped of their hair in lime baths for weeks. The
great spectacle of this work can be seen at the top of the shops
tanners.
Accept the mint leaves at the entrance offered by the merchant, in order to withstand the foul smells that you will encounter above the vats !!
Souk of dyers, henna, jewelry, blacksmithing, carpentry, everything is made in this wonderful city.
