  • Pretty nice yard. Other than that not much to see. I do’t think you can get to the second floor. Entry ticket is 20MAD.
  • Intricately detailed carving, which was truly magnificent to see. It was lovely to be able to enter a mosque as a non-Muslim and without having to be covered. The people at the door are helpful. It’s 20dh entrance and for that you only get to see the courtyard, but it’s still worth it.
