MEDERSSA BEN YOUSSOUF
At the end of the main street of the souks, just after you pass all the shops (Baroudienne Street). This former islamic school is now open to the public. Here you can not only admire the wonderful architecture and wooden ceilings, but see the way the pupils lived in those tiny little cells.
Entrance 20 Dh.
At the nearby Marrakesh Museum you can see some modern moroccan art, have a tea in the terrace and rest, or buy some books at the book shop.

We really enjoyed this very traditional Muslim school in the heart of Marrakech. This is where the Bedoin students learned did religious studies.

The architectural details, the tile work, the various shades of weathered brown and tan are a delight.

Look up... look down.

This was an old Koranic school turned museum, pretty boring but great woodwork. The kind of place you'd rather live in than visit. How come my house is so crappy?
