Moulay Idriss

Hello, and welcome to Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, one of Morocco's most sacred towns. My name is not important; what is important is the story of this place, nestled just a short drive from Meknes and the ancient ruins of Volubilis. As we begin, notice how the town is draped across two hills, Khiber and Tasga, at the foot of Mount Zerhoun. This unique setting, with its whitewashed houses tumbling down the slopes, gives the town a feeling of being both grounded and heavenly. For centuries, this has been a place of deep spiritual importance, a destination for pilgrims seeking blessings and a quiet retreat from the world.
