Royal Palace — Attraction in Touarga

The Royal Palace of the king of Morocco is only used as his offices. The building itself is 5 acres in size and no one knows what it looks like inside. So when you go to visit the palace, you have to stand a good distance away and it’s not much to look at from the outside. There are a number of different kind of uniformed men outside but they too, are at such a distance. It’s hard to see any of the detail of their outfits. The grounds of the royal palace, both inside and outside the walls are meticulously maintained, but it’s mainly vast Hardscape and fast amounts of lawn. The botanical gardens are far more interesting and pretty.

There are huge fountains on the plaza, but they had no water in them when we were there. Apparently they only have water and are working fountains when the king is at the Royal Palace, and he prefers to live in his residence in Sale

There is a large mosque on the property with the characteristic Morrocan square single minaret.

It was interesting to learn that after Ramadan, everyone is invited into the royal palace grounds to...

The palace is probably beautiful, but unfortunately it can only be visited with a guide and in groups of at least 5 people.

From here I would also like to greet the policemen and guards watching over the palace – who showed great understanding towards me. Dear gentlemen – once again, I am sorry that I stopped my car right in front of the gate in a place where parking is not allowed.

I only wanted to explain that the GPS lost the way and to ask how to get out – but instead I just got scolded.

Fortunately, nothing bad happened, and as soon as I parked nearby, the policemen politely explained everything to me.

So, dear tourists – don’t park your car in front of the palace gate, or you will get a telling-off :-)

The police, security, and royal guards will answer all your questions – but only if your car is not standing nearby :-)

Once again, thank you for your understanding – you...

Boring and not worth the visit. You must walk 10 mins from the road and 10 mins back. So 20 mins of walking just to take a picture of the underwhelming facade. There are no signs of where to go and what to do/not do. Guards were whistling and yelling at people from afar when they were walking in the wrong direction. This was unnerving and confusing. As you approach the entrance, people are taking pictures of the front view. Not interesting enough to make the stop. Save your energy and spend more time at Chella! I went here by tuktuk tour. The gate requires your passport, the guide takes the passport in and you're separated from your sensitive passport. Unnecessary for what this place offers. Again, don't waste...
