The Koutoubia Mosque, standing tall in the heart of Marrakeck, is a testament to the city's rich Islamic heritage and an impressive architectural feat. Erected in the 12th century during the Almohad dynasty, the mosque is a significant symbol of Marrakech and a must-see for visitors. The mosque's minaret, towering 77 meters high, is the focal point and serves as a city landmark. Its intricate detailing, reminiscent of traditional Moroccan architecture, is mesmerizing. The harmony of geometric patterns, decorative arches, and bands of ceramic inlay leave observers awestruck by the stunning craftsmanship. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and the bustling Jemma el-Fnaa square nearby, the mosque's location enhances its charm. Its beautifully landscaped gardens provide a peaceful and verdant contrast to the bustling city, while the rhythmic calls to prayer from the minaret enhance the spiritual atmosphere. The Koutoubia Mosque, however, is not accessible to non-Muslims, which might disappoint some tourists interested in exploring its interior. Nonetheless, the grandeur of its exterior and the surrounding serene gardens make it a worthwhile site to visit. In summary, the Koutoubia Mosque offers a unique glimpse into Marrakech's history and Islamic architectural beauty. Despite limitations in interior access, its architectural grandeur, historical significance, and tranquil surroundings make it a notable attraction in the city's vibrant tapestry.

I had the privilege of visiting a beautiful mosque recently, and I must say it left a lasting impression on me. The architecture was stunning, with intricate designs and a serene ambiance that immediately enveloped me upon entering. The spacious praying area for women was a thoughtful touch, providing a comfortable and inclusive space for worship. While I didn't venture outside to explore the courtyard myself, my dad, who accompanied me, raved about its beauty and tranquility. He shared how he thoroughly enjoyed the surroundings and found it to be a peaceful retreat. I highly recommend visiting this mosque, not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for the spiritual experience it offers. The inviting atmosphere and well-designed facilities, especially the spacious area for women to pray, make it a welcoming place for all worshippers. If you have the opportunity, I encourage you to visit and partake in the prayers, as the overall experience is sure to be memorable. May Allah bless your visit and grant you a fulfilling spiritual journey. Inshallah.

The Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakech is truly a landmark that captivates visitors with its stunning architecture. Although it may be disappointing that you couldn't enter the mosque due to renovations, the Plaza of the mosque and the attached park offer a beautiful alternative for spending time and enjoying the surroundings.

Overall, Koutoubia Mosque is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Marrakech's rich history and culture. @MARRAKECH #MARRAKECH

If you are in Marrakech, you must visit this amazing piece of Architecture. It is very closed to Jama El Fnna square. Only opens during prayers time as surroundings are very very busy and I ‘d imagine the administration doesn’t want people to sit inside Masjid all the time. I managed to pray Maghrib Sala here and took some photos from inside. The architecture from inside is amazing too. The tall Minaret can be seen from distance. There are lot of stalls around the Mosque and you can also take Horse Carts from here. Add it to your list for Marrakesh.

Even if you are not religious visiting a Mosque is something you enjoy since they are gorgeous pieces of architecture by itself, of course a great to take picture in a respectful way, this Mosque is one of the oldest and well keep it building also a must to visit if you happen to be in Marrakech, pay attention to its details from top to bottom and if you are an art loved your will enjoy specially the caved writing and the way the architects planned the whole construction, day or night looks beautiful

What a stunning mosque. We visited but unfortunately we were unable to go inside as there was construction work going on due to the earthquakes a couple of months before it. Would’ve love to pray inside here but hopefully next time. The mosque is so beautifully designed with such fine detailing. It’s free to enter too! If you’re ever in Marrakesh I would recommend visiting here.

A must visit in Marrakesh, an iconic mosque with rich history and cultural legacy, many stories are associated with this place, it appears when the present mosque was built, there was a cluster of more than 100 booksellers, so it's called Kutubiyyin, booksellers mosque also,entry is free, as this is an active place of worship, it's necessary to wear proper dress and maintain decorum.

The Koutoubia Mosque is a mesmerizing gem in Marrakech's heart. Its grandeur and intricate architecture create an enchanting aura. The view from the tower is breathtaking, offering a unique perspective of the city. A must-visit for anyone seeking Morocco's rich history and culture.

Don’t visit Marrakesh and not stop here to pray one salaah or visit. Lovely Mosque. If possible walk with a bag to put your shoes in when entering the prayer area. If you dont have one, there will be ladies there just make sure to give them a small contribution.

مكان روحي متميز يعبر عن المعمار المغربي الاسلامي كونه مسجد و جامع و يوضح كمية التقدم في المجال الميكانيكي التي عرفته المنطقة في عهده حيت يتضح من اللوحات المحيطة به ان بإستطاعة مقصورة الصلاة اتباع القبلة بتحريكها نحوها و عدة امتيازات اخرى ..

Nice monument to visit during the day, beautiful architecture and nice parks and gardens nearby to be enthralled by. The parks are very well maintained and the streets are generally clean but didn't see any drinking fountains. Carry a hat, water and sunscreen, it can get very sunny even in winter.

I think it was under restoration because of the earthquake damage so we couldn't get near the mosque but I walked around it. It looked beautiful. Wish we could get in to feel the atmosphere and vibe of the place.

Unfortunately Morocco only allows Muslims in mosques, so you are not one, you won’t be able to enter. Very nice construction, though. 77m high and nothing in the city is higher than the tower. So it’s always an easy spot to target if you’re lost.

A good place for a walk and to learn more for the city of Marrakech. If you're really interested in the history side of things then I think it makes sense to come here as part of a tour group so you have a guide

Really enjoyed visiting here. While not as impressive as the one in Casablanca, this is a 12th century mosque so really impressive for its age. You can get some fantastic pictures if you wander around it, especially from the park just behind it. Well worth a visit.

Beautiful mosque in the centre of Marrakesh in the main hubbub of Koutoubia, with its special tall minaret which can be seen for miles away. Its serenity and beauty makes for a peaceful visit Alhumdulillah

Sadly I didn’t get to see inside of this beautiful mosque as it was still closed for work following the earthquake in Marrakech. Such an iconic building in the busiest part of the city. I hope to get to see inside on my next trip!

Beautiful masjid MashaAllah. It was packed during taraweh prayer, but quite empty during 5times prayer. Toilet for men and women, and wudu place for women are in one place. it’s very small building, located behind the masjid (in the garden)

Focal point to the centre of old Marrakech. You can't go inside if you aren't Muslim, but worth a walk round the outside of the mosque to view the different faces of the minaret and relax in the peaceful gardens surrounding it.

Gorgeously looking mosque, can’t miss if visiting the city centre. Hint: go around and you find two small but beautiful parks and a refreshing fountain just nearby!

Beautiful historic landmark of Marrakech. You can only enter when you're Muslim but it's very beautiful from the outside as well. You can walk around it and there's a nice park behind it where you can take nice pictures.

A historical mosque from 12th century, a twin of the minaret is in Sevilla, named Giralda serving as bell tower of Cathedral

Stunning Tower dominating the Marrakech skyline. A great reference point when trying to navigate the city. No access inside the building when I visited, possibly due to earthquake damage?

Amazing architecture. Really old structure. The mosque can be visited only for prayer. It has a beautiful fountain in the middle used for ablution. Situated right across the Jemma Square.

Beautiful mosque. It's a shame I couldn't go inside. Would have loved to see the architecture inside. Outside architecture was superb. The Morrocans have a flare for architecture. المزيد

Lovely mosque and nearby grounds. Shane we couldn't go inside as I believe it is amazing inside too.

The Koutoubia Mosque standing, with the minaret standing 77 metres high, one of many great architecture examples in Marrakech. Great to see and Visit. …

Mosque is located near the famous square Jemma El Fna. Today it's Marrakesh's most famous landmark. You are allowed to enter if you're Muslim.

I wasn't able to go in as I arrived late. The mosque is also being refurbished after it survived the earthquake. المزيد
