Located atop of the highest point in the city, is the former Sultan’s Palace (Dar el-Makhzen) overlooking Tangier’s Medina from behind its 17th century stone walls.
It is an elegant and ornate building. Inside you’ll find two independent museums: The Museum of Antiquities and the Museum of Moroccan Arts.
The Museum of Moroccan Art has a wonderful collection of handcrafted goods whilst the Museum of Antiquities has an array of ancient objects and antiquities from all around Morocco with items dating from prehistoric times to the medieval ages.
The former palace is also situated in beautiful grounds and you will be impressed with the stunning interior courtyard, beautifully enameled in glazed earthenware.
