Moulay Idriss

The picturesque town of Moulay Idriss, nestled in a cradle of verdant mountains, is one of the country's most important pilgrimage sites.

First capital of Moroccan state, founded by Moulay Idriss I, a descendant of the prohet and founder of the first arab-muslems'dynasty in Morocco.
