  • Excellent place to visit. Incredible architecture. Great views from the windows below to the streets and rooftops. Entry fee of 20 dirham was so worth it.

  • A great example of 14th century Moorish architecture. It was the former Koranic school's dormitory since it is attached to the Kairaouine Mosque next door.

  • Really nice place to learn about how students live in Morocco in the past. It worth to spend your time walking through the different rooms. Also, try to get a view out of the windows. This experience is also fairly pricey with 20 DH entrance fee. Just be aware that most of the people trying to help you finding the Al Attarine will ask you for either money or bring you to their perfume shop.
  • Beautiful old islamic school, not sure if students still live there, but very well maintained. The intricate designs on all the walls are absolutely beautiful.
