Things to do in Marrakech, Marrakech-Tensift-El Haouz Region: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites

February 23, 2022 Vergie Nakamoto

The “Red City” of Marrakesh is a magical place, brimming with markets, gardens, palaces, and mosques. Exploring the intimate courtyards and snaking alleyways of the historic Medina can easily eat up a day. Find inner peace at the serene Jardin Majorelle or take in the beauty of one of the city’s historic mosques (taking note that, unless you are Muslim, you are not allowed to enter).

Koutoubia Mosque

Reviewed By MrJD79

A must see site when visiting Marrakech. The grounds are kind the mosque are beautiful. The inside of the Mosque is equally beautiful with stunning architecture. The mosque is the prominent site in Medina and can be seen from most places. Bring a Muslim, I attended Friday prayers at the mosque and would highly recommend this to any Muslim visitors. Be advised to get there early however, as it does get extremely busy.

Kasbah Mosque

Reviewed By jeanclaudea891 - Montreal, Canada

Unfortunately the Kasbah mosque can only live in the shadow of the beautiful Koutoubia Mosque. However, the Kasbah Mosque deserve more than a look. Often are the doors open and one can have a peek at the inside displaying its sobriety but also its profound spirituality. The Mosque has been renovated and can be now seen from all sides. Some details are funny as shown in the picture.

Slat Al Azama Synagogue

Reviewed By Hampshire75

A long and winding journey resulted in us visiting the main synagogue of the Mellah of Marrakesh. A tranquil haven with a good history trail and an explanatory film in a number of languages including English. Only 10 MAD entrance fee to a magical place in the hustle and bustle of the vibrant Red City.
