MEKNES:
Medersa Bou Inania


Meknes, Morocco


This Muslim school was completed in 1358, and named after Sultan Abu Inan. It has very nice examples of zellij mosaics and wood carvings. Look out for the ribbed dome over the entrance hall, which is the building's most unique asset.
From its roof, there are nice views over the Great Mosque.
Typically Moroccan, non-Muslims are not permitted into large sections of the madrasa.
