Moulay Idriss: Place of Pilgrimage - sacred destinations (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
The picturesque hilltop town of Moulay Idriss, a popular day trip from Meknes, is also an important religious site. For many centuries it has been a place of pilgrimage, thanks to its tomb of the city's founder and namesake, who was a decendent of the Prophet Muhammad. Arriving in Morocco from Damascus in 787, he soon converted much of the area to Islam and founded Morocco's first Arab dynasty.
