Wikipedia Overview

A riad that hosts Marrakesh's photography museum. A wonderful collection of photographs documenting the people and places of Morocco and Marrakech. Some of the pictures are over 100 years old, but even those from the 1960's seem to tell a story of a different world. Many of the portraits are stunning to look at and observe, but it's worth reading and understanding some of the history of these pictures. The building is relaxing and not too busy. There is a very nice, relaxed cafe at the top on the terrace which serves various drinks and juices. Recommended for a rest and a change of pace from the souls.

What a lovely interesting maison de la photography with a lovely rooftop for inexpensive drinks and food - and a great vista without being overcrowded! The price of the entry lets you use the museum of music 🎵

We visited the House of Photography in Marrakech on a recommendation and really enjoyed it. The collection is great—beautiful photos showing people and places across Morocco over time, from the mid 1900s. You get a real sense of the country’s diversity, and some of the images are stunning. The building itself was a highlight too. There’s a rooftop terrace serving coffee and juice with amazing views of the city and the Atlas Mountains. It’s also much quieter than most rooftops in the city (given it’s within a ticketed museum), which makes it even better. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you’re into photography or just want a peaceful spot with a great view. If you buy a ticket here, it also includes access to the Museum of Mouassine Music (although we did not visit here).
