Moulay Idriss

Overview

The creator of the first Arab dynasty and most sacred saint, Moulay Idriss, is buried in the center of this very holy town. Non-muslims are not permitted to visit many of the shrines, however a wander through the hilly streets is very interesting. Moulay Idriss⿿ shrine is the destination of constant pilgrimages. There is also a September moussem. You can get a view of the shrine from the Terrasse Sidi Abdallah El Hajjam above the Khiber, find a young guide to lead the way.

It⿿s better to move on to Volubulis or Meknes because it has only be recently that they even allowed Christians to enter the town. Accommodation is sparse but possible.
