Musée Tiskiwin Marrakech — Attraction in Marrakesh Prefecture

Very interesting museum that puts Marrakech's historical role as a trading hub in a wider perspective. If you ever wondered what awaits on the far side of the desert you will enjoy this place. Basically you are being invited on a journey from Marrakech to Timbuktu and back again. Through 10 "caravan stops" you will visit Morroco, Algeria, Chad, Niger and Mali plus all the exotic peoples and tribes along the route.

Only minus is that the staff don't seem to want to open he place in the morning ( I arrived first time at 9:30 and it was still closed even though the sign said it would be open at 9). Furthermore I needed to turn on the lights myself for each room and some of the switches were quite hard to find. Contrary to other comments here all signs have been translated to English and you will furthermore be equipped with a guide book when you enter which explains almost all objects...

A charming little place which one can easily get lost it (almost literally as the curated descriptions explaining the various exhibits sadly rarely matched any of the cases they were positioned next to). Nevertheless, rich on history and the cultural significance of many artefacts and precious items from the old Saharan caravan route from Marrakech to Mali.

A beautiful little orange tree in the courtyard at the end. Curation could improve, but somehow it somehow lends itself to the charm of the place that the curation is...

This is a great place to visit if you are interested in finding out about Morocco and its TRUE history. I was blessed enough to meet the owner of the museum and author of a book on African - berber culture. Mr Bert Flint. The museum has some amazing facts and allows you to go back in time, you can take pictures and he told us that his wish is for Black people to see their true history as not told to us in school or anywhere. This museum is a must for everyone. Thank you Bert you have changed my and my children's...
