Koutoubia

A great place to visit, but you can only see the tower, and everything is currently being renovated. A large 12th-century mosque in the Almohad style with a square, gardens, and a fountain. Behind the mosque is a pleasant park for a walk

One of the most beautiful and interesting masjids and overall destinations to visit. Since it’s an active place of worship with five daily prayers, non Muslims are not allowed inside. We noticed many visitors were unhappy about this, but it’s ultimately a decision made by the local or central authorities, and it’s important for tourists to respect a country’s rules, culture, and religious practices. That’s part of traveling and exploring. As a Muslim myself, I don’t fully agree with the restriction, but I don’t completely disagree with it either. The architecture is stunning an impressive old structure that still stands strong and showcases its elegant beauty. Prayers are held by the local community, and interestingly, they are conducted in two directions due to historical reasons (definitely worth reading about this place history). The only real downside is the presence of vendors and beggars around the area. Many are very persistent, sometimes even intimidating, and it does take away from the peaceful experience. We’ve visited multiple times and each time encountered the same issue with overly aggressive sellers and well organised groups begging around the site. The toilet facilities are at the back side of the masjid, it could be used by everyone, but it would be opened certain time and need to pay few dirham coins.

I visited the Koutoubia Mosque for Jumu’ah prayer and it was a truly beautiful and spiritually uplifting experience. The masjid is very spacious, well-organized and welcoming, even with a large number of worshippers. Praying here, with its rich history and iconic architecture, added a deep sense of peace and reflection. A must-visit place of worship in Marrakech, both spiritually and culturally.

Serene atmosphere with a central tank or pond to make evolution from. The carpets are extremely clean. It is advisable to put your shoes in a bag and carry them around with you so that you can exit from any of the other gates if necessary. Bring here is so peaceful with all the other people. Five times a day, this place fills up so fast and then empties equally fast. The best part was walking into the central courtyard and making evolution just like the olden times.

Such a beautiful and iconic spot in Marrakech. It was under construction when I went, so I didn’t get to see all of its beauty up close, but even from the outside it’s impressive. The architecture and scale make it easy to see why it’s such an important landmark. The surrounding area is peaceful and nice to walk around, especially in the evening when everything lights up. Even though I couldn’t experience it fully, it’s still worth stopping by.

Allahu Akbar a truly mesmerising House of Allah in a central area of Marrakesh. The architecture is stunning. But the House is soothing due to the Salah. May Allah continue to preserve the Masjid and keep us busy with His servants worshipping Him.

This is a beautiful mosque near the square. It is a large beautiful mosque. It opens up at prayer times and you can go inside to pray.

Such an amazing touristic spot in Marrakech. The tallest construction in Marrakech and Morocco. It rises for 80 meters. Was constructed by mistake in the nearby area but not facing the direction of Qibla, then demolished and re constructed again in the right direction. Many stalls on the way to the mosque selling pomegranate and sugarcane juice, some clothes and paintings.
