Rabbi Shalom Zaoui synagogue, Jewish synagogue in Medina district, Rabat, Morocco
The synagogue features Moorish architectural elements with trilobal window shapes and traditional lamp designs throughout its main prayer hall and courtyard.
Built on the former residence of Rabbi Shalom Zaoui, who lived from 1839 to 1918, the synagogue stands as a testament to Jewish presence in Morocco.
The synagogue maintains regular religious services and gatherings for the remaining Jewish population of Rabat, preserving centuries-old traditions and rituals.
Located near Bab Diouana gate and the Andalusian wall, the synagogue includes separate prayer areas, a courtyard with an arcade, and modern kitchen facilities.
The entrance bears large Stars of David on its doors and leads to a bright red courtyard that connects to various functional spaces within the complex.
