Absolutely gorgeous and full of tourists. The carving is spectacular and lots of great time. It's fun to see all the student dorm rooms that are so tiny. Abs fun to learn out of the windows from the second for. I recommend visiting the bathrooms, still in use after all these years and beautiful setting.

Considering that the entrance fee is only 50 dirhams, it is quite an interesting old madrasa to visit. It was built in the Middle Ages and has great historical significance. Beautiful carvings and interesting mosaics. I think it’s worth stopping by for an hour to walk around.

One of Marrakesh’ finest attractions. It is nice to walk through the nooky cranny spaces/rooms. In my view this place is value for money. The architecture is beautiful coupled with it being well maintained. I visited late afternoon. It wasn’t too busy.
