The first time I came to El Jadida was in the early 80s and you could just walk into the cistern if you could find it! These days unless you are Moroccan it will cost you the equivalent of €6, but I still think that it is worthwhile. It reminds me of the Mezquita in Cordoba and the peace and coolness is enveloping. Tip - the loo is also clean and free!
