Essaouira - Sidi Mohamed ben Abdallah Museum

The Sidi Mohamed ben Abdallah Museum in Essaouira is located in the former residence of a pasha and houses regional art, a fascinating ethnographic collection and a history of the local musical traditions. There are documents on Berber songs and stringed instruments decorated with marquetry (guembris), which Gnaouas musicians use to accompany their dances.
