Artisanal School
Just outside Bab el-Okla is the Artisanal School - the best artisan centre in northern Morocco. This is a fascinating opportunity to see masters teaching apprentices traditional arts, including ornamental woodwork, silk costumes, carved plaster, intricate mosaics and decorative rifles. A fantastic central treasury holds the best of the best – don’t miss the ceiling. Staff will open it upon request. The building itself is of interest, set around a large courtyard, with fine doors upstairs.

Archaeology Museum
A few blocks from the Place al-Jala there is an Archaeology Museum with an excellent collection of artefacts from the Roman ruins at Lixus. However, during research the published hours were not being adhered to; the museum had been closed for a week, and it was not clear when it would reopen.

Ethnographic Museum
Just inside the Bab el-Okla, this museum is worth a visit for the terrace views of the Rif (ask the caretaker to open it for you, if necessary), its pleasant garden with old cannons and the display of silk wedding gowns. Otherwise, you’ll see some of the same decorative features in the palace restaurants.
