The Ecomuseum Berbere is located inside the Jardin Majorelle and highlights the Berber culture in the region. It has a general collection of art and artifacts, as well as rotating exhibitions.

advice
Beware of thieves in this area, on foot or by bike. Keep your items carefully and be especially careful when you remove your wallet or mobile phone.
As the medina can be a bit dizzying, your hotel can recommend a guide for excursions. Know that often guides work with sellers and take you to specific stalls.
Sellers in shops and stalls can be very aggressive. Feel free to browse, but try not to engage vendors, unless you really want to buy something to avoid a feeling of intimidation.
Know that often take photographs or with an animal (a capuchin monkey or snake) will cost you. Ask the price before time.
Haggling is traditional souks. If you do not like a price after negotiation, feel free to walk away. Often this will get your price down. But trying to be fair!
