Book with Ouzcar! Best experience in the morocco

We stumbled across this one evening at 7pm, an hour before it closed. Was amazing discovery - beautiful architecture and carvings, interesting information boards, and tranquil space. Plenty of freedom to explore at our leisure, and not at all crowded.

Highly recommended!

Stunning restoration and many rooms to explore. Beautiful craftsmanship on show (recommend watching the video). Only downside was the instagram crowd who seem obsessed with getting the perfect picture - regardless of others, take a picture & move on I say. It's a beautiful place but can be crowded.

Great guides, lovely people, fantastic days!

Maybe the coolest place I have ever been. Just stunning, yet there weren't as many tourists as at the other sites we visited

completely worth the value!

One of the best examples of Moroccan architecture and zellij tile work, the Medresa ben Youssef is well worth the crowds as one of Marrakesh’s top sights.

A fantastic taste of Berber culture

One of the historical buildings to visit and be impressed with. Beautiful mosaics and really intriguing place where students uses to learn. Going on the second floor and looking through the small windows is worth it.
