Guided tours

See the Kasbah with a guide

El Badi is straightforward to visit alone — a ticket at the gate and an hour in the ruins. What a guide adds is the rest of the Kasbah, and the history that makes an empty courtyard legible. These are live prices from Viator, not ours.

How to Buy Your Ticket

  1. The 100 MAD entry fee is payable at the gate in cash, or online through the Ministry of Culture portal.
  2. Bring cash in Moroccan dirhams (MAD); card payment is not reliably available at the ticket window.
  3. Arrive, queue briefly at the booth beside the entrance, and pay the posted rate for your visitor category.
  4. 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.
