Reviews of Koutoubia Mosque
Arbaoui RAHHALI - 5
Koutoubia Mosque It is one of the most wonderful monuments in Marrakesh that I recommend visiting. The architectural form of the minaret shows an influence on Andalusian architecture, distinguished by its Islamic decoration. Visiting should not be limited to the front facade only, the backyard is wonderful as well

A very beautiful and historical mosque built on the ruins of an old mosque from the 12th century Marrakech. It is very well renovated and has water fountains and a beautiful garden in front of it. It is still in service, five-times everyday. Inside is full of arched pillars of old red-bricks and stones. It has also a women's enclosure. This mosque is not as decorated as the Hassan-II Mosque in Casablanca, but it has more beauty in its simplicity, grandeur and past history. In summer, the park is crowded because of its cool shades of many trees; and fresh air cooled by its fountains. Plenty of flowers too. A calm place to pass time if you bring a book or laptop. Well maintained.

One of the key features of Marrakesh and unlikely you'll miss this if your're near the main square. The gardens at the back of the building are very nice. You can't go inside the Mosoque, it was closed today but even if open, the inside would not be available to Non-muslims.

Super beautiful when you’re there around 5 in the afternoon. The light shines beautifully on the building. I would recommend to walk around the mosque and sit down in the park behind the building. It was very calm there compared to the busy street and big square.
Soudamini Mohapatra - 5
Nice mosque with a tall minaret of 77 meter, surrounded by garden. It's an important landmark of Marrakech, built in the 12th century. A religious site and used for daily prayers. Visited only from outside, but liked it
