I contiued on until I found myself in this older section of the city, before I bacltracled all the way under the immense afternoon heat.

Finally I passed the first city wall and arrived in Place lalla Aouda

Finally I arrived at my destination - Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, who was very generous to let non-muslims in to visit

If only this sign is shown at Bab el-Mansour instead of here... I didn't have to waste an hour in walking

Inside the Mausoleum

Open Courtyard of Mausoleum

Beautiful, simple and neat mosaics

sundial on the wall

The Mausoleum has many empty courtyards decoratedin a sober style, allowing visitors to leave behind them the noise and bustle of the city.

View through behind the double door at the entrance of the Mausoleum

Place lalla Aouda at dusk

A flying stork... just as I spent ages looking for it in Volubilis
