The glittering Mausoleum of King Mohammed V lies in state on the very place where, upon his return from exile in Madagascar, he gathered thousands of Moroccans together to thank God for giving independence to their country. The opulent tomb chamber is resplendently decorated, with zellige tilework covering the walls around the grand marble tomb. It’s a showcase of Moroccan traditional design.
Non-Muslims cannot enter the adjoining mosque but are able to view the mausoleum’s tomb chamber from above, as long as they are dressed respectfully (shoulders and knees covered)
