How to Get to Diwan Mosque

Located in the medina of Fès (Fès el-Bali). The medina is best accessed on foot from Bab Bou Jeloud (the Blue Gate) and then by following the maze-like alleys; local directions or a guide will help locate smaller neighborhood mosques.

Tips for Visiting Diwan Mosque

  • Respect prayer times and dress conservatively when near active mosques in Fès el-Bali.
  • Many small mosques in Fes have unmarked entrances from narrow medina lanes; ask a local guide for directions rather than wandering aimlessly.
  • Combine a visit with a walk along Talaa Kebira and the nearby tanneries to contextualize urban religious architecture.
