Audio Guide of the Oudayas Museum

The National Museum of Jewelry (formerly the Oudayas Museum) is currently located in the Oudayas Gardens and is open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. You can easily get there on foot if you are in the Medina of Rabat, or by taxi from other parts of the city. For more details, I suggest checking the official information on the website of the National Foundation of Museums of Morocco.

Yes, entry to the National Museum of Jewelry has a fee. For international visitors, the rate is 70 dirhams, while for domestic visitors it is 30 dirhams. There are discounts for students and groups. I recommend checking the official website of the National Foundation of Museums to confirm prices and any changes: FNM.ma.

Usually, between an hour and a half and two hours is enough to explore the National Museum of Jewelry at a relaxed pace and appreciate all the collections. If you would also like to stroll through the beautiful Andalusian Gardens of Oudaya or Oudayas, which are free and nearby, you can easily add another hour to your visit.

The Oudayas Museum, now known as the National Museum of Jewelry, is of great cultural importance because it houses an impressive collection of traditional Moroccan jewelry, reflecting the country's rich history and the art of goldsmithing. It is located in one of the oldest and most significant parts of Rabat, the Oudaya Gardens, which are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the best times to visit Rabat, as the weather is pleasant. For the Oudayas Museum, I recommend going early in the morning, just after opening at 10:00 a.m., or late in the afternoon to avoid the busiest hours and enjoy a quieter experience.

The National Museum of Jewelry is housed in a historic building. Although efforts have been made to improve accessibility, some areas may present limitations due to the original architecture. I would advise contacting the museum or the National Foundation of Museums directly for precise information about wheelchair accessibility. Their general number is +212 5377-50201.

The museum is strategically located in the Kasbah of the Oudayas. Right next to it, you can explore the beautiful Andalusian Gardens, walk through the picturesque blue-and-white streets of the Kasbah, and enjoy views of the Bou Regreg River and the Atlantic. Not far away, you will also find Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, both reachable on foot or with a short ride.

To make the most of your visit, arrive early to avoid the crowds. Wear comfortable shoes, as the streets of the Kasbah may be cobbled. Don’t forget your camera to capture the beauty of the gardens and the panoramic views. Also, consider hiring a local guide if you want to dive deeper into the history and details of the jewelry and the kasbah, or use our Rabat audio guide for a more immersive experience.
