The busiest square in the Medina, Seffarine Square, is always filled with the clamorous clanging of pots and pans given how it is home to the city’s brass and copper workshops. It is surrounded by stores displaying rows of immaculate, shining cookware and housing craftsmen hammering out the finishing touches on their wares.

Next to the square is the majestic Kairouine Mosque. Though you can’t enter the mosque if you aren’t a Muslim, you can still admire it from afar, or sneak glimpses into it when someone walks through those intricately carved cedar wood doors. Particularly lively on Fridays, also known as the Salat, when believers donning pristine white robes or emerald and even sapphire robes go for their weekly worships at the mosque. With just that narrow frame in time when the door is open and then quickly closed, keep your eyes peeled for the carved plaster, walls painted in contrasting shades of green and pink and those blue and green tiles which complements the robes of the followers.

With much to explore when at Seffarine Square, this is truly one unmissable site!
