The Dar El Bacha palace and Marrakech jinn traditions

Record summary

Dar El Bacha is a named Marrakech palace associated with the city’s political and architectural history. Moroccan palace folklore can include jinn, hidden spaces and nocturnal disturbances, making the site a possible lead for studying how Islamic and Maghrebi supernatural traditions attach to elite residences. This should be treated as a cultural tradition or local historical claim, not as a verified modern haunting. The main research task is to locate a specific Arabic, French or ethnographic source dated within or referring to 1970–1989 and to identify whether the account concerns Dar El Bacha itself or another Marrakech palace.
