Moulay Idriss

Moulay Idriss

mitsuru
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.

_______Sights

Moulay Idriss has a lot of religious sights, where non-muslim are not permitted to enter. Nevertheless it's worth while to have a look at them from the outside. There are also several places, from where you have a splendid view on the Zerhoun mountains and the plains.

Zaouia of Moulay Idriss
Edit This

Even though non-muslim visitors are not allowed to visit the shrine and the sanctuary around the saint's grave, the zaouia , it's worth while to have a look from the outside. The holy district is marked by a wooden bar. Here, at the entrance to the " zaouia " with it's shrine, mosque and school, you have to stop. But you can catch a glimpse at the small street leading into the sanctuary.The style of architecture you can see, is late 17th / early 18th century, from the times of Moulay Ismail (1672-1727).

In front of the " zaouia ", there are a number of stands with more..

__________Moulay Idriss is the site of the first Mosque in Morocco. It is one of two mosques with a round minaret in the country.

The city is said to be founded in 787 or 788 by Moulay Idriss, the famous ruler of the first Arabian dynasty in Morocco, after his flight from the Middle East. Here in the Zerhoun Mountains seems to have been his first place of refuge in Morocco, from where he spread the new religion of Islam.
