Koutoubia Mosque, Marrakech (Morocco) - Travel Guide

Take a tour of Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakech -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.

Hi, I am Naomi and I am very excited to show you the world's greatest attractions.

With its sandy coloring, this structure seems to grow out of the surrounding desert.

The Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakech is a remarkable building for many reasons.

The distinctive minaret rises 220 feet, and is visible from most of the city.

This ancient building was constructed in the early 12th century.

The mosque has decidedly influenced architecture of other Moroccan buildings.

The evening call to prayer can be heard from all around in Marrakech.

At night, the tower and its legendary golden orbs are illuminated for all to see.

Thank you for watching our travel video series. See you next time.
