Fez Morocco : Tours and Excursion

Attention!!! There are tours with discounts.

The Bou Inania Madrasa, also known as Madrasa al-Bu 'Inaniyya, is a stunning example of Marinid architecture in Fez. This religious school, built between 1350 and 1357, is one of the few madrasas in Morocco that also functioned as a mosque. A private guide can help you appreciate the intricate zellij tilework, carved stucco, and cedar wood carvings that adorn the building.

The madrasa features a central courtyard with a marble fountain, surrounded by student cells and a prayer hall. The minaret, visible from various points in the city, is a notable landmark. A private guide can explain the symbolic meanings behind the geometric patterns and calligraphy found throughout the madrasa.

Historical Significance

The Bou Inania Madrasa was founded by Sultan Abu Inan Faris, who sought to promote Islamic education. It remains an active place of worship and a testament to the intellectual and artistic achievements of the Marinid dynasty. A private guide can provide insights into the madrasa's role in Fez's religious and educational life.
