Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail

In the first courtyard, a charming fountain is used for ablutions. Ceilings, they are painted cedar. The third courtyard has a fountain with marble from Italy and a sundial dating from the seventeenth century. Then, to truly enter the mosque, we must remove their shoes. You can see the mosaics which include Koranic scriptures. Besides the tombs of Moulay lsmaïl and his two son, you can see two clocks offered by Louis XIV. Moulay Ismail received this gift when King sun refused to grant him the hand of his daughter. The marble columns that support the room was restored in 1957.

THE MARKET FOR THE MEDINA

On the left of the place El-Hedim, behind the arcades of potters, is one of the most beautiful and lively covered market of Morocco. You will find many stalls of spices and olives very diverse, but also of multicolored birds. Better armed with a bouquet of mint to face the aisle to chickens and sheep to the show is worth the detour.
