Review of Dar Jamaï MuseumThis is one of Morocco's finest and most underappreciated museums. Overlooking place el Hedim, this 1882 former palace was built by the influential Jamaï family viziers, or high government ministers, to Sultan Moulay Hassan I before they fell from grace upon the death of the sultan in 1894. The French converted it into a military hospital in 1912 before it became the Museum of Moroccan Art, better known as the Dar Jamaï Museum, in 1920. In contrast to most other museums in Morocco, the exhibits here look fresh and are well lit. However, there are no English-language descriptions. Exhibits cover a wide range of Moroccan decorative arts such as jewelry, ceramics, woodcarvings, and embroidered textiles. A selection of antique guns is also interesting. Dar Jamaï itself is also an exhibit; head upstairs to a reception salon with a stunning koubba, or domed sanctuary, and finish your visit with a few moments rest in the cool courtyard shaded by citrus trees.

| 3 stars | Frommer's Exceptional |
Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
