Kasbah Museum, Mediterranean culture museum in Kasbah district, Tangier, Morocco
The Kasbah Museum occupies the former Dar El Makhzen palace, displaying archaeological items and historical artifacts across multiple exhibition halls and an Andalusian garden.
Established in 1922, the museum preserves artifacts from prehistoric times through the 19th century, documenting the evolution of Mediterranean trade and cultural exchanges.
The museum collections include a Venus mosaic from Volubilis, ancient statues, and maps illustrating Mediterranean trade routes from Phoenician times to modern electronics.

Morocco offers a wide range of subjects for photographers. Cities like Marrakech and Casablanca have mosques, palaces, and gardens where colors, geometric patterns, and craft skills come together. You can photograph the 210-meter minaret of the Hassan II Mosque facing the ocean, the blue walls of Chefchaouen in the Rif mountains, or the courtyards and mosaics of the Bahia Palace. The land of Morocco has many different landscapes, from the dunes of the Sahara to the peaks of the Atlas. The Todra Gorges show limestone cliffs that narrow in some places, while the Ouzoud waterfalls fall in three steps into a wooded valley. The medinas reveal the busy markets and narrow streets where artisans work. On the coast, beaches and forts add more scenes to explore.
