Sights
Edit This
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 ThisEven 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..
