Oued Tensift Bridge
Oued Tensift Bridge is a bridge located north of Marrakesh over the Tensift River in Marrakesh-Safi, Morocco. It was originally built by Ali ibn Yusuf, the 5th Almoravid emir between 1106-1143 AD. The bridge was later rebuilt in 1170 AD by Abu Ya'qub Yusuf, the second Almohad Amir who reigned from 1163 until 1184.
