ESSAOUIRA - SIDI MOHAMED BEN ABDALLAH MUSEUM

This house, which once belonged to a pasha, is now a museum of regional art. The history of the local musical tradition is traced in documents on Berber songs and string instruments decorated with marquetry (guembris) used by the Gnaouas musicians to accompany their dances.

The ethnographic collections are displayed on the upper floor and should not be missed.
