How to Buy Your Ticket
- Tickets are sold only at the palace gate — there is no official online booking for individual visitors.
- Bring cash in Moroccan dirhams (MAD); card payment is not reliably available at the ticket window.
- Arrive, queue briefly at the booth beside the entrance, and pay the posted rate for your visitor category.
- Keep your ticket — it also covers access to the rooftop terrace and the Koutoubia minbar pavilion.
Tips for Your Visit
- For the best light on the pisé walls and reflecting pool, arrive between 9 and 11 in the morning.
- Most of the site is open-air with little shade, so bring a hat, sunscreen, and water, especially in summer.
- Don't skip the rooftop terrace — it's included in your ticket and offers one of the best views in the Kasbah.
