Bab Aghmat- Travel Tips
What to See, How to Plan & Tours- Historical & Cultural
- 5 Reviews
Bab Aghmat is the main southeastern gateway of Marrakesh's historic medina, originally constructed around 1126 by Almoravid ruler Ali ibn Yusuf. Named after Aghmat, the early Almoravid capital located to the south/southeast, the gate originally featured a bent passage with a 180-degree turn, and later modifications introduced a fortified courtyard that altered its navigational flow. A staircase in the northeast leads to the roof, and the area is bordered by the extensive Bab Aghmat Cemetery, the adjacent Jewish cemetery of the Mellah, and the Mausoleum of Sidi Yusuf ibn Ali, one of the Seven Saints of Marrakesh, all contributing to its historical and cultural significance.

This souk is for locals only. There's not much tourists around. But believe me: this is the best place to buy cheap stuff
