Om
Raske fakta: A towering minaret rises 77 meters above the cityscape, its ochre stones glowing pink at sunset. Local storytellers say the surrounding square once hosted hundreds of book traders, a trade that left the neighborhood with a name tied to books.
Høydepunkter: A 77-meter tower inspired Seville's Giralda and Rabat's Hassan Tower, an architectural family you can spot by the similar horseshoe arches and brick bands. Climb the gardens at dusk and listen for the mellow call to prayer drifting through orange blossoms, while four metal spheres crown the spire and catch the last light like tiny suns.
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.
