Our journey takes us beyond borders as we explore Zakkak Madresa in Sousse, Tunisia. Its minaret pierces through the sky while whispering tales from ancient times when knowledge thrived within these walls. Moving westward brings us to Ben Youssef Madrasa in Marrakesh, Morocco - an architectural gem adorned with exquisite mosaics and stucco work that reflect the rich artistic heritage of North Africa.
