Bou Inania Madrasa is a breathtaking 14th-century Marinid madrasa in Fes, celebrated for its intricate Islamic architecture. While generally accessible on foot within the medina, visitors should expect stairs and uneven surfaces, making it less suitable for wheelchairs. Exploring independently is feasible, but a local guide can greatly enrich the experience with historical context and architectural insights. The madrasa is typically open year-round, though summer visits are best planned for early mornings or late afternoons due to heat, and hours may vary during Ramadan. There is a small entrance fee, usually around 20-30 Moroccan Dirhams, and a typical visit lasts between 30 minutes to an hour. Visitors are encouraged to dress respectfully (shoulders and knees covered) as it is an active religious and educational site; non-Muslims are generally permitted to explore the courtyard and study areas but not the main prayer hall.
