    Walking

    From the heart of Hivernage, head east on Avenue Mohammed VI towards the Medina. Continue straight until you reach the intersection with Rue Fatima Zahra. Turn right onto Rue Fatima Zahra, and continue walking for approximately 800 meters. You will find the Dar El Bacha Museum on your left-hand side. The walk should take you around 15-20 minutes.

    Taxi (Preferred for longer distances)

    If you prefer not to walk, you can hail a taxi. Look for a 'Petit Taxi' which is the local taxi service. Tell the driver 'Dar El Bacha, Rue Fatima Zahra' as your destination. The fare should be around 20-30 MAD, depending on traffic and time of day. Make sure to confirm the price before starting your ride.
