Tiene mas fama de la que se merece, es una mezquita normal y corriente por fuera, naturalmente por dentro no se visita. more »
It has more fame than it deserves, it is an ordinary mosque on the outside, naturally inside it is not visited.View original -
ムワッヒド朝時代の1147年に建てられたモスクのミナレットで、高さは77mとマラケシュのランドマーク的存在。礼拝を呼びかけるアザーンを流すためのミナレットも、地域ごとに特徴があって、モロッコのものは角柱形。トルコやイランとは全く違った形式で、同じイスラム教でも国や地域によって違いがあるのも興味深い。 more »
Built in 1147 during the Mwahid dynasty, this minaret mosque is 77m high and a landmark in Marrakech. The minaret for the azan to call for worship is also characteristic of each region, and the Moroccan one is a prismar shape. It is interesting to see that it is in a completely different format from Turkey and Iran, and that the same Islam differs from country to country.View original -

I really liked this mosque, because the architecture is so beautiful. I recommend going there at sunset, since you will get great pictures. I would also suggest to visit the surrounding parks - also a lot of good photo opportunities!

Beautiful place. It was really a nice place to take a walk and enjoy the gardens. There were a lot of vendors selling orange juice, sugar cane juice and other snacks. It was nice to just relax for a bit and have a juice to cool off during the hot summer days!
-
We tried to enter but it was aways closed. No signs, nobody to ask, no logic or explanation. The exterior of the building is spectacular and can be seen from all around. It is really the symbol of Marrakech and must seen!

Great historic mosque. The minaret is very high and you can see it from far away. There are beautiful gardens and this area is quite lively and meeting point for locals and tourists.
-
One of the great old mosques in Morocco. Regular prayers are conducted. Nice recitation during the prayers. The only issue is there is no direct wash rooms and the one located outside of tye mosque is quite small and not that hygienic.
