Ben Youssef Medersa Marrakech

The Ben Youssef Medersa, a former Islamic college, is a great spot to check out some traditional architecture in the Medina. The Moroccan tilework is stunning and the building itself is quite interesting to walk around in and see where the students lived.

Nearby there are a couple of other sites to see including the Marrakech Museum which also has a café to grab a coffee and a snack.

This is a fairly touristy area so beware of paying too much and/or having people approach you with advice. Their guidance does not come for free and you will be expected to pay them. If you do accept their help be sure to negotiate the price in advance.
