Zaouia Moulay Idriss II Tours and Activities

Built in the 9th-century to house the tomb of Moroccan ruler and city founder Moulay Idriss II, the Zaouia Moulay Idriss II was completely restored in the 14th century and now stands as the city’s holiest shrine. The zawiya is an important place of pilgrimage for Moroccans, who believe that its blessings can bring good luck and fertility.
Non-Muslims are not permitted to enter the mausoleum, but it’s worth a look if only to admire the elaborate exteriors, including exquisite wooden arches, carved plasterwork and an ornately tiled mzara, where alms are passed through a brass slot. A peek through the door offers a glimpse of the richly decorated tomb, often surrounded by freshly lit candles and incense.
Practical Info
Zaouia de Moulay Idriss II is located in Fez Medina (Fez el-Bali), close to the Tanner’s Quarter.
Address: Fez, Morocco
