File:Jewish quarter, Mellah of Tetouan.jpg

English: In the narrow streets of Jewish quarter of Tetouan... Almost every big historical city in Morocco has its Jewish quarter called Mellah. Here in Tetouan is known by Spanish name Juderia or Qods, or Little Jerusalem. Entrance is very easy to find - as its part of Medina, and close to Royal Palace, from its south - you just turn to the right right before the Bab er-Rouah. Main, central street is Akka, and there are many small streets/lanes crossing it, from one side dead end from other connected to Qods street. Houses in Mellah are a bit different than others in Medina - are taller, usually with grilles on the windows and dark painted iron balconies. Streets in Mellah are narrow.

From 16 synagogues left only one - Yitzhak Benoualid synagogue, dates back to the 18th century. No Jews left in Tetouan, except maybe 10. Synagogue is closed, its a museum like, and there should be someone who can open it, but i didn't find who... Its very interesting to see the life there, which didn't changed much since almost all Jews left Tetouan and immigrated to Israel 60 years ago. Muslim neighbors took their place and the life stand still.

I visited there to photograph, and was really strange for me that nobody disturb me or tried to get money from me, just felt like invisible and photographed life there passing by as on usual busy day.
