Koutoubia Mosque & Gardens
About Koutoubia Mosque & Gardens
Marrakech's defining landmark — a 70-metre 12th-century minaret visible from across the entire city. Non-Muslims cannot enter the mosque, but the surrounding gardens of orange trees, roses, and fountains are open to all and make a beautiful, shaded park to sit and watch the city at dusk. The minaret is especially magical lit at night.
