The Almoravid Qubba is a small monument in Marrakech, Morocco.

It was erected by the Almoravid dynasty in the early 12th century.

It is notable for its extraordinary decoration and for being one of the only remnants of Almoravid architecture in Marrakech.

Located close to the Museum of Marrakech, Almoravid Koubba is another historic structure raised by Almoravid dynasty. As the only surviving structure of Almoravid architecture, this is also known as Koubba Ba’adiyn and stands as one of the most interesting places to see in Marrakech. Built in 1117 and renovated in the 16th and 19th century, Almoravid Koubba is a simple dome structure, decorated with floral designs and stunning calligraphy.

Opening hours: 8:30 am to 6 pm, on all days except Saturdays and Sundays
