    Photo Stop
    Beautiful but just for a photograph stop. Cant get in unless a Muslim, which is fair enough. Impressive building.

    I could'nt visit it
    If you are not muslim, don't go. You cannot visit it. It's like : - You wann see it? It's very nice! - Yes please! - Are muslim? - Well. no. Does it matter? - Yes, you can't visit it. Better go somewhere else.

    Tolerance left that building
    It looks great but if not Muslim you can not enter to enjoy. That is unfortunate after being in many mosques in Istanbul and other cities. But most in Fes have strict "gatekeepers" so wandering to find it might only get you a peek.
