Koutoubia MosqueKoutoubia · The 12th-century minaret that still sets the height of the old city. Mosques are closed to non-Muslim visitors, so walk its gardens at dusk, when the stone turns rose and the call to prayer carries over the square.Jemaa el-FnaaJemaa el-Fnaa · The square changes shape through the day: juice carts in the morning, food stalls set up at dusk, music circles after dark. Eat at a numbered stall with a posted price and agree prices before photographing performers.
Bahia PalaceRiad Zitoun el Jdid · A 19th-century vizier's palace of courtyards, painted cedar ceilings and zellige. Go at opening: by late morning the tour groups fill the main court.
