Douiria Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away in a quiet Agadir neighborhood, the Douiria Museum offers a rare and intimate glimpse into traditional Moroccan domestic life. It's not a grand palace but a beautifully restored 19th-century townhouse, making you feel less like a tourist and more like a guest in a private home. The experience is one of discovery, as you navigate through small, interconnected rooms that reveal the subtle artistry of everyday living. This is a place where the history feels personal and wonderfully authentic.
Collection Highlights
The museum's charm lies in its curated assemblage of domestic objects—think hand-woven Berber textiles, intricate jewelry boxes, and beautifully preserved cedar wood furniture. You won't find sprawling galleries; instead, each room focuses on a different aspect of home life, from cooking to receiving guests.
Visitor Information
Finding it is part of the adventure—look for the discreet sign in Ouled Dahou. It's small, so an hour is plenty to soak it all in. The staff are incredibly welcoming and often share stories that bring the space to life.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is the star exhibit: a classic Moroccan douiria (guest apartment) with a central courtyard, cool plaster walls, ornate zellij tilework, and carved wooden ceilings that showcase local craftsmanship.
