Koutoubia

A building that you can check from outside. It's not bad or ugly, but I would recommend to visit the mosque in Casablanca more. Next to the mosque, there is a small cemetery that is styled into a monument, and also 2 parks. Those parks are nice for walking around. Prepare to be chased around by various sellers.

The Koutoubia Mosque is a remarkable place of worship and a must-visit for Muslims in Marrakech. For those practicing Islam, you can enter the mosque and experience the serene atmosphere during prayers, which is truly humbling. The architecture is stunning, and the interiors are well-maintained, reflecting the rich history and culture of the region. What adds to the charm is the opportunity to witness the remnants of the old Koutoubia, a fascinating glimpse into the past. The spiritual ambiance and historical significance make it a memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Marrakech!

My experience at the Kutubia Mosque was truly captivating. The mosque showcases the remarkable architecture of the Almoravid dynasty. The minaret, standing at approximately 77 meters, is visible from a considerable distance. The interior of the mosque features exquisitely designed arches. Additionally, there is a designated prayer area for women within the main hall. This site is an essential destination for anyone visiting Marrakesh.

Built in 1147, this beautiful mosque is well worth a visit. Incredible artecture inside and out. Free to visit. Abayas is available at the mosque if you are not modestly dressed. Very peaceful, not too busy. Check opening time.

Large mosque, with ruins and well-tended public gardens. Plenty of shaded seating to enjoy a break from the busy streets. This is also where you get the free shuttle bus to the truly astounding Anima Gardens.

A big square good for some small rest exploring the city. On the other side of the streets they have food shops and bus stations. I’m not sure if you can get inside the tower but when I was there it was closed so I just got to see the view from the outside.

Excellent historical site. Very beautiful architecture and beautiful recitation by imam. Overall an absolutely amazing experience.

Iconic and old mosque. The garden is very nice. Even if you are Muslim, but don’t know to pray, they will not let you in. It’s a holy place to pray and not a tourist attraction. But you can visit it from the outside.
