Aman, Musée de l'Eau review: our verdict
How to transport water over kilometers, distribute it among the fields, and store it for the summer: this is the story told by Aman, the Mohammed VI Museum of Water, opened in 2017 on the Palmeraie side. Over 2,200 m², the visit relies on interactivity, animated models, videos, projections, and multilingual panels, within a building by Rachid Sqalli Houssaini whose façade features aquatic motifs.
Children quickly get hooked, and adults then look at the region's gardens and palm groves in a new light. The place is often nearly empty, air-conditioned, with parking and fountain gardens outside: a perfect family outing, or a refuge from the city's heat and bustle. Less for archaeology enthusiasts: ancient objects are rare, the screens dominate, some touch devices no longer work, and a few rooms repeat themselves.
The good tip: take the bus, which stops in front of the entrance and goes to Bab Doukkala for 50 centimes per person (verified in April 2026). The trap: come on a Thursday afternoon, as the museum then closes at 4 p.m. instead of 6 p.m. Allow one to two hours on site, more if you want to read everything.
