Zaouia Moulay Idriss II

The shrine that houses the remains of the founder of the city of Fez, Moulay Idriss II, is one of the holiest buildings in the city, enclosed in the depths of the old city. Non-Muslims may not enter the imposing building, but it is possible to see inside and glimpse the saint’s tomb, which is the subject of a constant devotional ritual by a group of women who burn candles and incense and make offerings.
