Moulay Idriss

This is a follow-up to my post on Volubilis.

Moulay Idriss is a town right next to Volubilis, where the person Moulay Idriss founded the Idrisid dynasty in the late 8th century, bringing Islam to the Maghrib. He died soon after, but his son, Moulay Idriss II, went on to found Fes somewhat nearby. Shown above is the town (it's very small). In the picture below, the building with the green pointed roof is the mausoleum of Idris I, accessible only to Muslims. People still take pilgrimages there today.

So all we really did after going to Volubilis was wander around this city and see the (outside of) the mosque and tomb. Neat stuff.
