Bab Berdieyinne Mosque, built during the reign of Sultan Moulay Ismail, stands out for its distinctive minaret, which is shorter and squatter than typical Moroccan minarets, with a green-tiled top. The mosque's exterior features delicate stucco work and carved wood, while the interior courtyard is a peaceful oasis of tilework and fountains. Though non-Muslims cannot enter, the exterior alone offers a rich study of Islamic art and architecture in Meknes.
Don't miss

- Study the intricate stucco and carved wood decorations on the exterior walls.
- Observe the daily rhythm of the neighborhood as worshippers come and go.
