La mosquée Ben Youssef (parfois orthographiée « mosquée Ibn Yusuf ») est une mosquée de la Médina de Marrakech, au Maroc, du nom de l'émir almoravide Ali ben Youssef. Elle compte parmi les mosquées les plus anciennes de Marrakech.
La première mosquée de Marrakech a été érigée par l'émir almoravide Youssef Ben Tachfine dans les années 1070, pour servir de Jāmi‘ (mosquée où a lieu la khutba du vendredi) à la ville naissante. C'était l'un des premiers bâtiments en brique de la ville, et Youssef Ben Tachfine se serait personnellement investi dans le mélange du mortier et la pose des briques,. Son fils et successeur Ali ben Youssef a construit une grande nouvelle mosquée centrale, nommée Masjid al-Siqāya (« mosquée de la fontaine ») en raison de la grande fontaine avec un bassin en marbre dans sa cour. Il a coûté près de 60 000 dinars or et a été achevé entre 1121 et 1132. C'était la plus grande mosquée construite dans l'empire almoravide, avec une base rectangulaire de 120 mètres sur 80 et un minaret estimé à trente mètres de haut. L'agencement de la ville a été organisé autour d'elle et, avec les souks voisins, elle a formé le centre de la vie de la ville de Marrakech. La Koubba Ba'adiyn voisine était l'une des fontaines monumentales d'ablution qui y étaient connectées.

Extremly dirty and disgusting, bikers bearly hit tourists on the pavement. Its stinking and also oil smone is terrible from bikes. People are begging and harrassing, sometimes follows you and nagging. Lot of scams, not a place for european tourists at all. Its really ugly, litter and oil everywhere.

Accosted by stall owners, choked by moped exhaust, inundated with cheap repetative over priced tourist junk, and scammed by "tour guides" what is not to like. FYI: avoid henna ladies, and snake charmers, they will expect cash for unsolicited "gifts".

The place is a tourist trap and very crowded. The shop owners are too aggressive and won't leave you alone. The motorcyclists travel at a very high speeds inside alleyways of the souks that make it even more uncomfortable. Comapred to fes, prices are also very high.

Prepare to be scammed. Whether it is 100% "cashmere" scarves, "silver" jewlery, or "antique" tiles, prices are high and shop keepers quick to pounce on any tourist foolish enough to pause, make eye contact, or glance at wares. After a day in the medina, and with a further three booked, we felt like prisoners in the safety of our riad. AVOID!!!

Its ok but i don't really like the ambiance because of their marketing strategy to sell their stuffs and i had a not so bad experience here.

Amazing but be prepared to get lost. Navigation on devices is poor at best. Don't expect to nip in and out. Assault on the senses and people follow you about if they get a sniff of you not knowing where your going. Shops trying to drag you in. Rotters trying to misdirect into getting lost. Beggars, pickpockets and frauds! Don't let that put you off. If you can stay in the centre and you will be walking around like a local in no time!

A wonderful experience to get lost in the Medina and walk around. Up to a certain point. Constant fear of getting scammed gets annoying after a while, loads of "tourist guides" trying to get you to go places and somehow getting your money. Easiest is just friendly say "no" or "laa shukran" to pretty much anyone and anything. Of course there are friendly and honest people, but with the most hassling I've seen during my stay in Morocco, I just decided not to trust anyone coming up to me from nowhere. Shopkeepers are usually a different story, sadly most items are cheap and made in China, with very low quality. The prices are rather expensive, numerous item I haggled from 20EUR down to 5EUR.. and you can imagine, that that if they're willing to sell at that price, the real price must be much lower. Google Maps doesnt help most of the time, and really, just looking at your phone and looking lost already makes you a target for possible scammers. I good experience if you dont get to visit other cities, but I have to say, from Fes, Rabat etc, the Medina in Marrakech was a disappointment is many ways. Only recommend visiting for the sake of visiting and especially if you're only staying in Marrakech.

It's interesting. I don't look like a tourist. I'm not a local. I'm an old traveller and the Medina of Marrakech is typical of many old towns the world over except outside medinas you have cars buses and motorcycles less shade. Learn a little French or Arabic. Don't ignore people. If you don't want what they offer its: merci mais non merci , And say it gently with a smile. They are busy people and if they think you didn't hear them or have muttered something obscure you will be wasting their time as they repeat follow. Please be tolerant.

Crowded, polluted (from the incessant flow of motorcycles), dirty, and did I mention crowded ? Small narrow passageways cluttered with merchants and trash. It was an experience, but that's just the way the Medina is.
