The mosque is adjacent to the palace complex of the kasbah (now a museum), directly to its south. The mosque's interior is relatively plain, with white walls and rows of white Moorish arches (like many Moroccan mosques).[1] It has a nearly plain mihrab (niche or arched alcove symbolizing the direction of prayer), and its small rectangular courtyard is not open to the sky but is roofed over.[3] Its most distinguished elements are on the exterior. The entrance is on Ibn Abbou Street (an alley near the entrance to the museum/palace), sheltered under a small arched passageway covering the street at this point.[2] The doorway, also shaped like a Moorish arch, is decorated with typical radiating geometric motifs whose empty spaces are filled with colorful zellij tilework.[3] The minaret, rising above the entrance, is notable for having an octagonal shaft (instead of a square shaft like most Moroccan minarets) and for its decoration.
