Also known as the White Mosque, the mosque’s entrance is situated on Fes El-Grande Jdid’s Rue (major road), protruding from the main structure on its western side but currently being bordered by shops or other buildings. A horseshoe-shaped arch serves as the doorway. It is encircled by carved stucco design and covered by a modest overhanging canopy made of carved wood with green roof tiles on top. A ancient public fountain with zellij mosaic tilework is located next to the entrance and is built into the mosque’s outer wall. Behind and slightly to the right (or south) of the entryway and the fountain is the mosque’s minaret.
The entry leads to a roughly square courtyard (sahn), which is encircled by an arched gallery and measures 8.17 by 8.47 meters. The courtyard’s floor is tiled with Zellij tiles, and in the centre of it is a fountain with a marble basin. The gallery on the courtyard’s south side leads to the main prayer hall, which is narrower than the gallery (probably because it is older than the rest of the building and the courtyard was added to expand it). A row of slightly uneven arches further divides this area for prayer. Although it is quite plain and unadorned, the mihrab (niche symbolizing the direction of prayer) has the same shape as the majority of traditional Moroccan mihrabs.
The ablutions chamber, which is located in the corner between the prayer hall, the courtyard, and the minaret, is now accessible from the street but formerly had a route from the main courtyard. Seven smaller rooms that acted as latrines flank the rectangular water basin in the centre of the room.
The minaret features a square shaft and a general shape resembling those seen in Morocco. Each of its sides measures 2.82 meters in width, and its main shaft is 12.6 meters tall. This modest secondary shaft is 3.25 meters tall, and it has a cupola on top. The whitewashed surface of the minaret is very simply embellished with carved reliefs of geometric designs and outlines around the small windows.
