Booking FAQs
Personal earphones: Required to use the digital audio guide app, which plays through your own device, and none are provided on-site. A charged smartphone with the app pre-downloaded: Your ticket QR code and audio guide content arrive by email the day before your visit. Download the app and the guide itself before leaving your accommodation, as there is no Wi-Fi inside the museum. Passport or ID card: Required at entry. Children under 9 enter free with a valid ID. Comfortable, closed shoes: The museum occupies a historic riad with uneven zellige tile floors and stepped corridors across all three levels; grippy footwear makes a meaningful difference. Moroccan dirhams (MAD): Your included coffee break covers mint tea or coffee with 3 pastries. Any additional drinks, meals at the rooftop restaurant, or boutique purchases are at your own cost and payable on-site.
Commercial or professional photography and video require advance written permission from the museum; personal photography is permitted throughout. Cooking classes, the rooftop restaurant (Le Douar Médina), and the full tea salon menu are separate bookings not covered by this ticket; only your included coffee break applies.
The museum spans three floors of an 18th-century riad with no confirmed elevator access, meaning visitors using wheelchairs may not be able to reach all exhibition levels. Zellige tile floors and narrow riad corridors throughout present challenges for both wheelchairs and strollers; the ground-floor courtyards are the most navigable areas. Seating is available in the interior courtyard areas, so you can rest at several points during your visit without needing to leave the museum. The visit is entirely self-paced with no fixed walking route or standing queue, making it easy to move slowly or pause as needed.
Experience type: This ticket gives you self-guided entry to the Moroccan Culinary Art Museum in Marrakesh. Exhibition access: Your ticket includes access to all permanent exhibition areas and interactive culinary displays. Coffee break: Your included coffee break, mint tea or coffee served with 3 Moroccan pastries, is taken at Le Salon de Thé on the ground floor after completing the exhibits; no separate order or payment is needed, just let staff know it is part of your ticket. The museum sits directly next to Bahia Palace on Rue Riad Zitoun el Jdid; asking your petite taxi for Bahia Palace is the most reliable instruction, with fares running 20–50 MAD from central Marrakesh. On foot, it is a 15-minute walk from Koutoubia Mosque along Rue Riad Zitoun el Jdid. The entrance can be easy to miss on this busy medina street; use the Google Maps pin (search: Moroccan Culinary Art Museum Marrakech) to navigate directly to the door. Modest dress is appropriate for a cultural venue inside the Medina; avoid sleeveless tops or shorts.
