Fodor's Review:

This awe-inspiring white mosque was built between 1922 and 1925 and has tranquil arcades and a minaret decorated in the style of Moorish Spain. Enjoy a sweet mint tea and an exotic pastry in the charming courtyard tea salon or tuck into some couscous in the restaurant. Prayer rooms are not open to the public. There are inexpensive hammams, or Turkish steam baths, here with scrubs and massages on offer—but be warned that the facilities can be extremely rustic.
