Jewish School


Just south of Bab Merba, this former Jewish school with its own synagogue is now closed, but you can still peak through the doors – it's pretty rundown. If you're interested in seeing more, try to find the guardians as they will usually let you in for a small donation of Dh10 to Dh20.
