Al-Mansour Mosque

Located in the Kasbah district of Marrakech, this is a 12th-century mosque constructed during the Almohad dynasty. Visitors go here to see one of the city's most significant historic Islamic structures, alongside the Koutoubia Mosque, to observe Almohad architectural influence.

Getting There

The mosque is situated in the Kasbah area, which is accessible from the city centre via a short taxi ride or a walk through the medina. Depending on your starting point of departure in the centre, the journey typically takes 10 to 20 minutes.

Allow approximately 30 to 60 minutes to view the exterior and the surrounding architecture of the district.
