The Morocco’s spiritual capital and sacred Moroccan town, sits astride, embedding in green hills and surrounded by olive groves and cacti, the whitewashed town of Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, founded by Moulay Idriss I in the late 8th century, still seems untouched by foreign influence, non-Muslims were not allowed in until 2005; It’s remarkable history and significance still reflected within Moroccan culture, giving its picturesque setting, pretty historic core and national importance where it's one of the country’s most important pilgrimage sites.
