Dar El Oddi
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet lane in the heart of Tetouan's medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site, Dar El Oddi feels like stepping into a secret. You don't just see history here; you feel it in the cool, intricate zellij tilework and the serene central courtyard. This isn't a stuffy, overwhelming museum but a beautifully preserved 19th-century mansion that tells the story of Tetouani life. Wandering through its intimate rooms, you get a genuine sense of how a wealthy family once lived, surrounded by such artistry and calm.
Collection Highlights
The real highlight is the building itself, but you'll find exquisite examples of traditional Moroccan embroidery, antique firearms, and beautifully preserved period furniture that make the past feel immediate.
