The Founder's City: Idris I and the Dawn of Islamic Morocco

The Roman world was a memory, and the land belonged to the resilient Berber tribes. In the late 7th century, a new force arrived from the east, shattering the old order and introducing a faith that would redefine the nation: Islam. This is the dramatic story of **Idris ibn Abdallah**, a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, who fled a powerful empire in the east and found refuge among the tribes of Morocco. Journey with us from the ruins of Roman **Volubilis**, where he was first welcomed, to the founding of the city that would become his dynasty's eternal legacy: **Fes**. Learn how this city grew into a beacon of knowledge and faith, the heart of the first Moroccan Islamic state, and the crucible where Arab and Berber cultures fused to forge a new identity.
