A
Batha Museum
Housed in a wonderful 19th century summer palace, converted to a museum in 1916, the Batha Museum houses an excellent collection of traditional Moroccan arts and crafts. Historical and artistic artefacts include fine woodcarving, zellij and sculpted plaster, much of it from the city’s ruined or decaying medersas. It also has some fine Fassi embroidery, colourful Berber carpets and antique instruments.

B
Belghazi Museum
The private Belghazi Museum, owned by the family of the same name, contains a collection that almost rivals that of the Batha Museum. The 17th-century palace in which it is housed provides a perfect backdrop for the exquisite carpets, jewellery, weapons and wedding chests on display. Much of this stuff is actually for sale if the price is right.

C
Nejjarine Square
This interesting square is dominated by the beautifully restored Nejjarine Wood Museum housed in an 18th-century funduq. There's also a superbly decorated wall fountain. Pause awhile in a café or browse the shops before venturing into the carpenters' souk with its amazing array of glitzy wedding chairs.
