View on Google MapsWonderful tourguide in Marrakech and walking around of the famous attractions highly recommended
To do absolutely. Splendidly restored, you can easily spend 30min, it is quite large. No people so it must be worth it to do it at the opening for the brave ones. The audio guide has absolutely no interest, does not add anything more to the explanatory panels present on site. And bcp rehearsals. Very nice visit for a low price
Incredible, an architecture that transports you throughout the tour. The inner courtyard with its pool is splendid. This old school is simply beautiful to visit. There's a lot of people, we'd like a little more calm.

Lovely, it deserves a view. Very nice, the main courtyard is a work of art, quite a few people but worth visiting.
Lots of history and enchantment. A busy place with tourists but interesting to visit and experience the decor and surroundings
The Ben Youssef Medersa of Marrakech is a historic Islamic school located in the heart of Marrakech. Built in the 14th century, it was once the largest Islamic school in North Africa and is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Outstanding refurbishment of the old Medersa. Located on the edge of the Souk area. Amazing architecture and internal decor which must be seen to be believed. Popular, and sadly the ambiance is often spoiled by the inevitable morons more interested in taking selfies than in seeing and understanding where they are and what is around them. We did the visit self guided with an audio guide (only 30 dirams) which can be easily shared and is worthwhile.
This is truly a masterpiece, displaying Moroccan architecture. through the ages with diverse motifs, vibrant colours, and astounding tile work. The walls and columns of the internal courtyard are covered with "zellige" -colourful, geometric mosaic tile work with friezes of calligraphy above, then intricate stucco carving and finally everything is topped off by carved cedar wood. Unfortunately there are very few seats on which to sit and admire the incredible craftsmanship on display here, I felt like I just wanted to drink it all in and create a forever indelible memory to return to in the future. Before leaving the courtyard behind to explore the upper quarters where the students lived it's important to enter the prayer room at the far end of the courtyard, opposite the entrance. Look up and you will see beautiful honeycombed "mugarnas" on the domed ceiling.
The architecture of the outside and the courtyard are of the purest islamic art and a perfect venue for live sufi music, as we were lucky to be there during the last evening of the Samaa Marrakech festival. The rooms and interior part of the building are not as impressive as the courtyard, however it is well worth a visit. It was recently renovated, with the work finishing just 3 years ago.
Consistent with what we had seen on the sites. Nice set. Of course a lot of visitors but fluid internal traffic
