Om
Raske fakta: En tårnende minaret stiger 77 meter over bybildet, dens okersteiner gløder rosa ved solnedgang. Lokale historiefortellere sier at torget rundt en gang huset hundrevis av bokhandlere, en handel som ga nabolaget et navn knyttet til bøker.
Høydepunkter: En 77 meter høy tårn inspirerte Sevillas Giralda og Rabats Hassan-tårn, en arkitektonisk familie som kan kjennes igjen på lignende hesteskoformede buer og murbånd. Klatre opp i hagen ved skumring og lytt til den milde bønnerop som driver gjennom appelsinblomster, mens fire metallsfærer kroner spiren og fanger det siste lyset som små soler.
Insidertips
- Dress modestly out of respect, shoulders and knees covered will be appreciated by worshippers nearby.
- Head to the northwest edge of the gardens or to nearby rooftop cafés for the clearest unobstructed photos of the tower.
- Avoid Friday midday during prayer when the area gets busiest and some approaches close for congregants.
- Pair the visit with a stroll through Jemaa el-Fna or the nearby souks to save time on transport and sample local snacks.
