Zawiya of Harrak

The Zawiya of Harrak features ornate tilework, wooden carvings, and traditional Moroccan architectural elements within its walls and prayer spaces.

Muhammad al-Harraq established this religious institution in 1845 after receiving support from a wealthy student named Toukourt who funded its construction.

The zawiya functions as the primary center for the Hariqa order, where followers gather for religious studies, music performances, and prophetic praise sessions.

Visitors can locate the zawiya through the narrow streets of Tétouan's medina, where official guides assist with navigation to the entrance.

The structure contains dedicated spaces for both scholarly lectures and musical performances, reflecting the dual nature of religious education in Morocco.
