Sidi Bel Abbes Zawiya, Islamic religious complex in Medina, Marrakesh, Morocco.

The Sidi Bel Abbes Zawiya features multiple buildings arranged around open-air courtyards, including a mosque, madrasa, library, and various facilities.

The initial mausoleum was constructed between 1603 and 1608 by Saadian sultan Abu Faris Abdallah to honor Abu al-Abbas as-Sabti, who died in 1204.

The zawiya serves as a spiritual center and educational institution where students learn Islamic teachings and traditional Moroccan religious practices.

Visitors must remove shoes before entering the mosque area and wear appropriate clothing that covers shoulders and knees out of respect for local customs.

The mausoleum chamber displays a distinctive pyramidal green roof and contains detailed wall carvings illuminated by stained glass windows.
