Dar Si Said

National Museum of Weaving and Carpets in a 19th-century palace

Built between 1894 and 1900 by Si Said ibn Musa, brother of grand vizier Ba Ahmed, Dar Si Said is a small late-19th-century palace converted to a museum in the 1930s. After major restoration following the 2023 earthquake, it operates as Morocco's National Museum of Weaving and Carpets, displaying textiles from across the Atlas, Sahara and southern Morocco.
