Vincent Poon :: Moulay Idriss

Moulay Idriss is well known to the locals as one of the country's most important pilgrimage sites. It is named after the country's founder and saint, where he was also buried here. I got here as it was the only transit stop to get to Volubilis

Moulay Idriss is a twin-hill town. ie the settlements are built on the two hills
Arriving at the taxi/bus station
This is a Grand taxi. I don't see how grand it is but the locals think otherwise as they have to pack 7 ppl inside (driver takes up 1/4 of taxi space inside)
The only square in this town - Place Mohammed VI

My lunch was taken inside the square - there were not many ppl in this square
Beef brochette (55 DHM with Coke)
Coke is it!
The Mausoleum of Moulay Idriss. The beam is a barrier for all non-muslims as it is a holy place

Even this "small" town has a hospital
Shops along the road to the main square
Donkeys will be very useful as the whole town is built on slopes
