What to See at El Badi Palace

Take time to notice the palace’s courtyard, surviving structures and historic surfaces.

Look across the courtyard

Begin with the relationship between the large courtyard and the structures around it. Follow the permitted visitor route and allow space for other people to appreciate the view.

Notice the smaller details

A brick edge, a patch of shadow or the outline of a doorway can hold as much interest as the wider view. Pause without blocking the route, and leave historic surfaces as you find them.
