Tucked away in the heart of the city, this iconic establishment isn’t just a place to grab a cup of coffee—it’s a journey through history, luxury, and the art of coffee-making. A Historical Oasis Located within the opulent Dar el Bacha Palace, Bacha Coffee is steeped in history. The palace itself dates back to the early 20th century and was once the residence of Thami El Glaoui, the Pasha of Marrakech. Today, the beautifully restored space is home to one of the most exquisite coffee experiences in the world. As you step inside, you’re transported to a different era, where the grandeur of Moroccan architecture meets the timeless elegance of a classic coffee house. The Art of Coffee Bacha Coffee takes coffee seriously. With over 200 varieties of coffee from 33 different countries, it’s a place where true coffee connoisseurs can indulge in the finest blends. Whether you prefer a rich, bold espresso or a smooth, aromatic Arabica, there’s something here to suit every palate. Each cup is brewed to perfection, and the attention to detail in every aspect of the service makes the experience truly special. A Feast for the Senses Beyond the incredible coffee, Bacha Coffee is a feast for the senses. The interior is a stunning blend of Moroccan and Art Deco design, with intricate tile work, plush seating, and a warm, inviting ambiance. The café is filled with the rich aroma of freshly ground coffee, and the beautifully presented pastries and desserts are as delicious as they are visually appealing. It’s the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring the vibrant streets of Marrakech.

#Overseas travel #Morocco #Marrakech #Bacha Coffee 🇲🇦 Marrakech, Morocco ☕️ Bacha Coffee I visited Bacha Coffee, the most popular place during my trip to Marrakech, Morocco. Bacha Coffee, which was born in Singapore, opened in the place where Dar el Bacha Palace used to be. Many people think that the Bacha Coffee brand is over 100 years old because it says "1910 Marrakech" on the Bacha Coffee packaging, but 1910 is the year that coffee was first served at Dar el Bacha Palace! I saw a review that Bacha Coffee, which opens at 10 AM, should be open for an opening run because so many tourists visit. So I arrived at 9:45 AM, but the line was already incredibly long. It took almost an hour from the time Bacha Cafe opened at 10 AM to the time I bought my ticket. Including the Basha Coffee Museum, it costs 60 dirhams, and the general admission ticket costs 10 dirhams. There were so many people that we couldn't have coffee and snacks at the cafe. We had to give up eating at the cafe because we had to wait more than 2 hours. Instead, we could order bakery items and have them packed. So we ordered 2 croissants and 2 pound cakes and paid 100 dirhams. I was surprised that the lemon pound cake was so moist and delicious. We also had to wait in line to buy Basha coffee, but after buying this and that, we ended up spending 400,000 won just on coffee. Since it was said to be the highest quality coffee, we ended up buying a lot of different things. The Dar el Bacha Palace had such a pretty garden, so it was fun to not only buy coffee but also tour the palace itself. If you travel to Marrakech, Morocco, try Basha coffee and visit the Dar el Bacha Palace ♥️

#TravelItinerary #Morocco #Marrakech #MarrakechTravel 🇲🇦 Marrakech, Morocco Introducing a day trip itinerary for Marrakech that I visited on a day trip from Casablanca, Morocco 🇲🇦♥️ I traveled to Marrakech for a day in the order of Marrakech Train Station - Bacha Coffee - Majorelle Garden - Jemaa El Fna Square. 🚉 How to get from Casablanca to Marrakech I took a train from Casablanca to Marrakech. It took 2 hours and 40 minutes one way, and I paid 390 dirhams for a round trip first class. ☕️Photo 2-3: Bacha Coffee There is a Bacha Coffee headquarters in Marrakech, Morocco, and this cafe is famous for its beauty. It opens at 10, but I went there at 9:40 and waited in line. There were too many people so I couldn't eat and I could only buy filter coffee. Instead, I could get the bakery to-go. I ordered a pound cake and a croissant and they were so delicious. And... I bought a lot of coffee so I spent almost 400,000 won on coffee alone..ㅎㅎ 🌵 Photos 5-8: Majorelle Garden Yves Saint Laurent Mansion The Majorelle Garden is the villa where Yves Saint Laurent, the designer of the French luxury brand Yves Saint Laurent, lived! I made a reservation online a few days before my visit and paid the entrance fee of 150 dirhams per person. The colorful colors and cacti were so pretty and there were many places to take great pictures! 🍎 Photos 9-10: Red Alleys They say the city color of Marrakech is red. There were actually a lot of red buildings. We walked around Marrakech (taxi drivers charge foreigners a high fee) and it was nice to be able to see the red alleys of Marrakech while walking around the alleys! 🍽 Photos 11-13: Jemaa El Fna Square and Marrakech restaurants Jemaa El Fna Square is where the Marrakech market is located, so it is a very crowded place for both tourists and locals. Because there were so many people, we tasted tanjia, which is only available in Marrakech, at a restaurant overlooking the square! In this way, we were able to see Marrakech on a day trip from Casablanca in about 8 hours. I highly recommend the exotic Marrakech trip ♥️

#springwander #travel #marrakesh #morocco Arriving in Marrakesh, I checked in at my hotel, dropping off my bags and freshening up before setting out to explore the city’s rich history and vibrant culture. The first stop was the El Badi Palace, a stunning yet now-ruined palace that once showcased the grandeur of the Saadian dynasty. Walking through its vast courtyards and sunken gardens, I could almost imagine the lavish celebrations that once took place here. Next, I made my way to the Bahia Palace, a masterpiece of Moroccan architecture. The intricate stucco work, colorful tiles, and serene courtyards offered a glimpse into the opulent lives of Marrakesh’s former rulers. The peaceful atmosphere made it a perfect place to soak in the city’s artistic heritage. From there, I took a taxi to Albasha, where I stopped for a break at Bacha Coffee. The café, known for its rich selection of brews, offered a taste of old-world elegance. Sipping on a cup of their signature coffee while enjoying the historic ambiance was a true highlight of the day. Feeling refreshed, I walked to Le Jardin Secret, a beautifully restored 19th-century garden hidden in the heart of the Medina. The contrast between its lush greenery and the bustling city outside made it feel like a hidden oasis. From there, I wandered through the lively souks (markets), admiring the colorful stalls filled with handmade crafts, spices, and traditional Moroccan goods. The energy of the market was infectious, with merchants calling out their offers and the scent of fresh herbs filling the air. Continuing my exploration, I visited the Ben Youssef Madrasa, an ancient Islamic school with breathtaking geometric designs and peaceful courtyards. Standing inside, I marveled at the intricate cedarwood carvings and zellij tiles, imagining the scholars who once studied within its walls. As the sun set, I made my way to Jemaa el-Fnaa, the famous central square of Marrakesh. The atmosphere was electric, with street performers, musicians, and food vendors bringing the place to life. I sat down at one of the bustling food stalls for dinner, indulging in a traditional Moroccan meal—perhaps a flavorful tagine or a steaming bowl of harira soup, accompanied by fresh bread and mint tea. With a full stomach and a heart full of memories, I took a final stroll through the square, enjoying the magical night ambiance before heading back to my hotel, ready to rest after an unforgettable day in Marrakesh.
