Jewish Cemetery of Marrakech, Jewish cemetery in Medina district, Marrakesh, Morocco
The cemetery contains over 20,000 graves spread across an area of 2,800 dunams with separate sections for men, women, and children.
The cemetery dates back to the 15th century, though Jewish burial practices in Marrakesh existed since the 12th century within this location.
The cemetery holds the remains of numerous rabbis including Pinchas HaCohen, Shlomo Tammuzat, Abraham Azulai, and Rabbi Hanania HaCohen.
Visitors receive a skull cap upon entry and are expected to leave a donation of 10-20 dirhams to support cemetery maintenance.
The cemetery contains three layers of burials to maximize space usage, with blue-marked tombs near the entrance indicating the resting places of priests.
