The Mausoleum of Moulay Idriss is Morocco’s most important pilgrimage site. The entrance is located at the top of the town’s main square, via a three-arched gateway surrounded by shops selling religious trinkets – non-Muslims cannot enter beyond the inner barrier, but it’s worth a peek inside the grand entrance.

Moulay Ismail created this pilgrimage site by building the mausoleum during the late 17th and early 18th centuries in a successful attempt to rally the support of the faithful.
