This stately mosque, a fine example of pure Moroccan architecture, is the only one in the city that non-Muslims may visit.

Although the ticket is a bit expensive and you must follow the visit schedule tightly, it is worth visiting as the indoor design is beautiful and attractive and the guided tour provides useful information. If you don't want to pay the entrance fee, you can also take nice pictures in the square, which is also impressive.

Along the way to Erg Chegaga and we stoped by Tamgroute. It is used to be an old library and saw the manufacturing of pottery. The guide was very informative, we feel not rush to buy. Well recommended.

Bou Inania Madrasa, after paying a tiny entrance fee: we were the only visitors at that moment making it an extremely peaceful and interesting visit. Though small, the Islamic school resembled those we had seen in Fez and in fact was built during the 14th century by the Marinid dynasty and is an extremely exquisite example of that period particularly thanks to its wooden carvings, marble decorations, and tiles. During our visit, we were even able to climb to the rooftop where we had a nice view of the surrounding old town

I often come to Azemmour from my home in El Jadida for a wander around the Ancienne Medina and have passed by the shrine on numerous occasions but have never managed to find anyone to let me in. Last November, I was in luck. I was showing an American friend around the town and we met one of the young musicians who performs at the Prive restaurant in Jadida. He lives virtually next to the shrine and he said he could find someone to let us in. Fair enough, he spoke to a guy who had some keys and we entered the sanctuary. Unfortunately neither my acquaintance nor the key bearer knew much about the history of the saint or the shrine and the elderly Jewess who is sometimes present by arrangement was not in evidence that day. The shrine comprises of several rooms, some subterranean, containing artifacts and books in Hebrew. It is maintained by a charitable Jewish foundation which also owns the land above the cave and which the guardian confirmed will build a retreat and hostel for pilgrims there - we saw evidence of the starting of that work. Outside the shrine, there's a well-tended square with a view over the river. We certainly didn't get any hassle from children or vendors either around the building or anywhere in Azemmour at all. It's a sad visit nonetheless to think that vibrant, integrated and established Jewish communities were lured from Morocco by false promises leaving just a few of their community behind with their treasured edifices and traditions. This contribution to Moroccan life cannot be erased, fortunately. It's certainly worth a visit, especially if you can get in. My visitor friend tipped the guardian 20 dirhams. This might grease the hinges of the door for future visitors if they do the same.
