Ksar El Kebir (القصر الكبير) is a historic town of the Loukkos valley, in the Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceïma region (province of Larache), in the north of the Gharb. Located at roughly 35.01° north latitude and 5.90° west longitude, in an agricultural plain irrigated by the Loukkos, it has a Mediterranean climate: mild, humid winters, hot summers. Famous for the Battle of the Three Kings of 1578, Ksar El Kebir sees its high latitude give its prayer times a marked seasonal swing.
Ksar El Kebir ('the great fortified palace') is an old city of the Loukkos valley, whose name remains attached to the famous Battle of the Three Kings (or of Oued El Makhazine), fought in 1578 nearby: King Sebastian I of Portugal was killed there, ending Portuguese ambitions in Morocco. A merchant and agricultural town, it preserves an old medina and mosques inherited from Andalusia. Religious practice here follows the Maliki rite.
Religious life in Ksar El Kebir sits within the Maliki Islamic tradition, carried by the mosques of the medina, several of Andalusian heritage. The Friday prayer brings together merchants, farmers and residents. Ramadan is lived with a strong communal dimension. Several mosques evoke Andalusia, guidance or hope.
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in Ksar El Kebir follows rukyat, the official sighting of the crescent moon announced by the Ministry of Habous. This method can produce a one-day difference from the Saudi calendar, notably for Ramadan and the two Eids. During Ramadan, Morocco suspends summer time, shifting all prayer times by about an hour for the duration of the month.
The high latitude (~35.0° N) gives Ksar El Kebir prayer times with a marked seasonal swing. In winter, Fajr is observed around 06:30 and Maghrib around 17:50; in summer, Fajr falls around 04:10 and Isha around 22:05–22:30 depending on the method. The Loukkos plain offers an open horizon towards the west. The published times follow the Ministry of Habous method.
Ksar El Kebir has several mosques, some of Andalusian heritage. Here are some of the most notable.
'Al-Andalous' evokes Muslim Spain, whose refugees Ksar El Kebir welcomed. A busy mosque in the medina.
One of the medina's popular mosques, a religious landmark of the town.
