Buraima Mosque
The Buraima Mosque is an Islamic place of worship located in the Kasbah district of Marrakech, adjacent to the royal palace. Built by an Alaouite sultan in the late 18th century, it serves as a point of interest for those exploring the architecture and atmosphere of the old royal quarter.

The mosque is located in the Kasbah area, which is a short distance from the city center. Depending on your starting point near Jemaa el-Fna, you can reach it via a 15 to 20 minute walk or a short taxi ride.

Since the mosque is primarily a site for prayer and is located within a residential and royal neighborhood, most visitors spend approximately 30 to 60 minutes observing the exterior and the surrounding streetscape.
