What travelers are saying
- David BEast Dean, UK398 contributionsThe building is great and well worth visiting. We went with a guide in the morning and it was fantastically busy - I would recommend going without a guide at a less crowded time if possible, perhaps the afternoonWritten October 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David BEast Dean, UK398 contributionsWe enjoyed this a lot. We went with a tour guide in the morning and it was heaving. I'd suggest going without a tour guide at a quieter time, perhaps in the afternoon.Written October 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FTMDaveAdria, Italy7,637 contributionsThe minaret is 77 metres high and as well as being part of an attractive building serves as a geographical landmark as you make your way around the centre of the city!Written June 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Coryy20Port of Spain, Trinidad6,366 contributionsThe metro station was very clean very functional and the employees were very helpful. The metro station caters for trains going to all cities because I took the train from Fes, and another from Marakesh back to Casablanca and everything went smooth both ways. There were restaurants a few stores in the train station and it was aesthetically pleasing.Written June 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- bajsnFunchal, Portugal66 contributionsLittle gem in the center of the Medina, right next to Jemaa el-Fna square.
It offers various Argan oil products, creams, and incredible fragrances.
The shop is family-owned and extremely beautiful.
Excellent value for money, I highly recommend buying your Argan oil products here, without a doubt!Written September 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is no signboard or information on site and security presence is heavy. Not open to public, it is not really a tourist attraction.Written May 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HINA WIslamabad, Pakistan7,358 contributionsThis gate is situated after Bab Debbagh. It was built in 1126 AD. It is one of the original Almoravid entrances. It is named after the Berber guards from the Banu Aylen Tribe who used to be posted here. This is a historical gate. A battle took place here in 1129 AD. The city was stormed by the Almohad army, they besieged the city. When they tried to enter from this gate they were stopped, from invading Marrakech, by the brave Berber guards. It is a simple ochre coloured gate near Oued Issil. It is located next to the Qadi Ayyaz Mosque.Written December 7, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- HINA WIslamabad, Pakistan7,358 contributionsBab Taghzout is a strange gate. Although it is one off the 12 original Almoravid gates but it is not connected to the ramparts. There is a very interesting reason why this gate stands in the centre of the Medina. It is because the shrine of the twelfth-century Sufi saint Sidi Bel Abbes lies close to it. During the 17th century sultan Moulay Ismail built a pilgrimage path around the tombs of the seven holy men of Marrakech. After this the area grew into a thickly populated residential neighbourhood, so much so that the city wall was extended to encompass it. It is a beautiful gate with a wooden awning. The wall perished but the gate still stands as an oddity.Written December 15, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Roberto C AraujoSao Paulo, SP102 contributionsHorrible experience. Don't go! They trap you in 3-5 people and try to rob you. You'll have to get money to leave the place. Again, don't go!Written April 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- HINA WIslamabad, Pakistan7,358 contributionsThis gate was constructed on the Southern side of the Medina to defend the city. It was built during the Almohad Period by Yaqub Al Mansur. It’s name has interesting connotations. Some people believe that it was named Rabb or God. Others hold the opinion that it was named after an alcoholic fruit beverage popular among the Almohads. The gate was also used to deliver figs, berries and fruits to the city dwellers. Bab er-Robb is a unique gate because it is the only one located in a corner of the city walls. Nowadays there is a pottery shop in this gate.Written July 28, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
