What to expect

The city calls this green space the Lalla Hasna garden and places it directly opposite the Koutoubia Mosque. Its visitor description mentions rose-lined paths, palms, fountains, benches and children’s play areas, making it a useful pause between the medina and the landmark minaret. UNESCO dates the Koutoubia to Marrakech’s Almohad heritage and gives the minaret’s height as 77 metres. This listing covers the public garden and exterior view only; it does not include any building interior or paid tour.
