Stunning architecture in this Madressah which is no longer in use and has become a tourist attraction. If you don’t get the guided tours then it’s basically just a Quick Look around which you can manage in about 10 minutes, but you can definitely spend longer if you’re reading up and admiring.

Really interesting! Gorgeous architecture and history. It was very very crowded, so be prepared for that. Great to go with a guide who can skip the general line.

Beautiful landmark! I would recommend a guide; we went to admire the beauty rather than learn about the history in depth, which I would have preferred. It gets super busy so do go when it opens for uninterrupted pictures. No need to buy tickets in advance.

Interesting history and stunning architecture showcasing the many students rooms and beautiful central water feature. Very busy but I would say worth the visit! Cash only entrance fee.

By far the most stunning religious building I have ever visited. Very well maintained and very accessible and well described. Go early inter morning (opens 9am) to avoid crowds as the waiting line gets very long. Must visit while in Marrakech
