The mosque was founded in 1147 by the Almohad caliph Abd al-Mu'min right after he conquered Marrakesh from the Almoravids. A second version of the mosque was entirely rebuilt by Abd al-Mu'min around 1158, with Ya'qub al-Mansur possibly finalizing construction of the minaret around 1195. This second mosque is the structure that stands today. It is an important example of Almohad architecture and of Moroccan mosque architecture generally. The minaret tower, 77 metres (253 ft) in height, is decorated with varying geometric arch motifs and topped by a spire and metal orbs. It likely inspired other buildings such as the Giralda of Seville and the Hassan Tower of Rabat, which were built shortly after in the same era. The minaret is also considered an important landmark and symbol of Marrakesh.

The Ben Youssef Madrasa (Arabic: مدرسة ابن يوسف; also transliterated as Bin Yusuf or Ibn Yusuf Madrasa) is an Islamic madrasa (college) in Marrakesh, Morocco. Functioning today as a historical site, the Ben Youssef Madrasa was the largest Islamic college in the Maghreb at its height. The madrasa is named after the adjacent Ben Youssef Mosque built by the Almoravid Sultan Ali ibn Yusuf in the early 12th century, and was commissioned by the Saadian Sultan Abdallah al-Ghalib in the 16th century.

Marrakech, the "Red City" of Morocco, is known for its vibrant culture, rich history, and bustling souks (marketplaces). These souks are a must-see for any traveler visiting the city, as they offer a unique glimpse into traditional Moroccan life and a chance to shop for unique and handmade goods. From leather goods to herbs and spices, textiles to jewelry, there's something for everyone in Marrakech's souks.

no visit to Marrakech would be complete without a visit to the famous Jamaa El Fna, the city's main square. This lively square is home to a wide variety of street vendors, selling everything from traditional Moroccan food to souvenirs and trinkets. It's a great place to people watch and soak up the vibrant atmosphere of the city.
