About Bab El Oqla Museum

Bab El Oqla Museum is a cultural museum associated with Tetouan's historical identity, regional crafts and traditions. Its collections help explain the city’s Andalusian-influenced material culture, including traditional decoration, textiles and local customs. The museum should have one page, distinct from the Bab El Oqla gate as a simple itinerary landmark. Opening hours and ticket amounts must be sourced from Morocco’s National Museum Foundation rather than guessed.
