El-Oued Mosque, Religious monument in Fes el Bali, Morocco
The El-Oued Mosque stands in the old medina district of Fez, featuring a square minaret and a rectangular courtyard filled with fruit trees.
Sultan Moulay Slimane constructed the mosque between 1792 and 1822 on the location of a former madrasa that dated back to 1323.
The mosque maintains its position as one of the main Friday prayer locations in the district, connecting residents through religious and social gatherings.
Visitors must wear appropriate clothing covering shoulders and knees, remove shoes before entering, and avoid visiting during prayer times.
The name El-Oued, meaning River Mosque, derives from its location above the Oued Masmouda canal, which supplied water to the surrounding area.
