Moulay Idriss Zerhoun - A brief drive from Volubilis leads to Moulay Idriss, one of Morocco’s most revered towns. Perched on two hills, this charming village houses the tomb of Moulay Idriss I, the founder of Morocco’s first Islamic dynasty. While non-Muslims cannot enter the mausoleum, you can wander through the narrow streets, admire the whitewashed buildings, and take in stunning panoramic views from a hilltop viewpoint. Moulay Idriss provides a glimpse into traditional Moroccan life, and a short visit of about 30 minutes is sufficient to absorb its tranquil atmosphere.
