The perfect minaret ( mosque tower ) in North Africa. Simple but beautifully proportioned, and a classic piece of Almohad dinasty architecture

A typical and authentic sample of Moroccan domestic architecture. This fairy-tale palace from One Thousand and One Nights is really worth the detour.

Whatever your knowledge of Islamic art, you may miss the breath at the sight of this marvel. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful monuments in Marrakech, the Ben Youssef medersa was long considered the most sumptuous Koranic school in the Arab world. When one enters this large enclosure, through a door with heavy bronze leaves, it is impossible not to be impressed.

They are a true labyrinths of stalls and craft workshops, organized by neighborhoods and trades bringing together more than 2,600 Moroccan craftsmen for about twenty corporations.
