Koutoubia

The destination is known for its stunning architecture and rich history, attracting many visitors. Exploring the area, one can discover beautiful landmarks that reflect its cultural heritage. It is a truly amazing place to experience the local culture and traditions. The atmosphere is vibrant and full of life, providing an unforgettable experience. Taking the time to visit, one will create lasting memories.

The Koutoubia Mosque is an absolute must-see and without doubt the most iconic landmark of Marrakech. Its stunning minaret rises above the city and can be seen from almost everywhere, serving as a point of reference while exploring the medina. Built in the 12th century, it is often called the “sister” of the Giralda in Seville and the Hassan Tower in Rabat, sharing the same architectural style and historical significance. Even though non-Muslims cannot enter, the exterior is impressive, especially at sunset when the minaret glows. Visiting this monument is essential to truly understand the character and spirit of Marrakech

Beautiful, historical mosque 🕌 that had an ancient minaret. I uploaded pictures and videos of how it looks both inside and outside. I highly recommend going here. It is open during prayer times. You can enter, without shoes, 10 or 15 minutes before prayer times. Just google prayer times in Marrakesh and you will know the timings. The architecture is superb. The design is flawless. It is a great representation of traditional Moroccan mosques.

A truly magnificent landmark in Marrakech. The architecture is stunning and the sheer size is impressive. A must-see when visiting the city.

Beautiful classical Masjid, such a contrast to the modern structures I am used to. SubhanAllah, you can feel the historic nature of it, inside was clean and relatively new. Decent walking distance from the Jma'a Al Fanaa too.

Only experienced this Mosque from the outside but either way, great site to see. They were currently reconstructing a few spots due to the earthquake they had about 2 years ago. Great big mosque. Nice huge walking platform to see the mosque from all different angles. Excited I was able to see this place up close and admire it. Walking distance to Souks and hotels around the area.

A very beautiful mosque that our guide took us too and told us about the history. It is a shame that it currently has scaffolding on it, not sure when or if that will come off.

Absolutely beautiful 😍 the Koutoubia mosque feels so peaceful in the madness of Marrakech. The architecture of the building is amazing. Would definitely advise to go there with a guide as there is some much history and information to learn, it's fascinating. The gardens are very well looked after and perfect compliment to the mosque.
