The village of Moulay Idriss Zerhoun is well worth a visit. This holy site in Maroc invites you to experience a spiritual moment far from the usual tourist circuits. We were touched by the serenity of its white streets and the hospitality of its inhabitants.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our opinion, it&#8217;s one of the most beautiful villages in the region. And even if you don&#8217;t have a car, you can discover it on an organized tour <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/fes-l829\/au-depart-de-fes-excursion-d-une-journee-a-volubilis-moulay-idriss-et-meknes-t505862\/?partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=maroc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">from Fez<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

Did you know that it houses the tomb of the spiritual founder of Maroc, a descendant of the Prophet Mohammed? Moulay Idriss I was the founder of the Idrisside dynasty, the 1st Muslim dynasty in Morocco.<br\/>We were particularly struck by the atmosphere of contemplation that reigns around the building and inside. Although access is restricted to people of the Muslim faith, you can admire the magnificent green glazed roofs that dominate the main square and stroll around the surrounding area. The alms candles at the entrance to the mausoleum bear witness to the fervor of the pilgrims who come to pay their respects at this sacred site.    <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Opening hours: permanently accessible from the outside<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Price: free to observe from outside<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access to the interior reserved for Muslims and free admission<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove shoes when entering the building<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As in all places of worship, wear decent clothing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"background-color:#fefefe;margin-top:6%;margin-bottom:6%\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\" style=\"max-width:700px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns inverse is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\">A LITTLE MORE PATIENCE<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\">All the photos, maps, information and addresses you need to make your stay at Maroc a success will soon be available in a single ebook!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\">Coming soon!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:42%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container ebook-radius-waitlist gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\"><div class=\"wp-block-image ebook-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/loirelovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ebooks_CorseNormandie_FR.png\" alt=\"Box Ebook Corsica FR\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

Built in the 20th century, it is the only round minaret in the country and surprised us with its originality. This is the minaret of the Sentissi Mosque, where the faithful still come to pray today. Decorated with green and white zelliges (traditional mosaics), this highly photogenic architectural symbol sets the village apart from all other Moroccan sites. It&#8217;s easy to spot in the medina!    <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Opening hours: permanently visible from the outside<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Price: free outdoor access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wear good shoes to climb the stairs in the alleyways before arriving at the minaret.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make the journey in daylight to find your way around more easily<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No PRM access because of many steps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

The ideal place to observe the daily life of the locals from the shady terraces. The charming lampposts encircling the square recall the green roofs of the Mausoleum of Moulay Idriss I. A nice contrast with the white walls of the various buildings and the mountains in the background! The square is also the ideal starting point for exploring the surrounding alleyways and soaking up the peaceful atmosphere of the village.    <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Opening hours: accessible at all times<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Numerous shops, caf\u00e9s and terraces directly on the square<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\" style=\"background-color:#f0e4dd;margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns inverse box_planif is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\" style=\"padding-top:10px;\">OUR TIPS FOR RENTING A CAR IN <span class=\"titre_box_manuscrit\">MOROCCO<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:14px\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Compare prices on our preferred platform: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/morocco?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=maroc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">DiscoverCars<\/a> &#8211; one of the best rated sites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not too wide<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A good engine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For more choice, <strong>book early<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column planif-radius-2 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large voiture_image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Morocco-all\/Morocco\/i-KDMQCZb\/4\/NXBrCVn8rWSm5NQQ9T5SCqjxhchbDNJ26tPBjGcZS\/S\/P1000664-S.jpg\" alt=\"Driving in Morocco\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns planif_bouton is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/fr\/morocco?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=maroc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">See available cars &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maroclovers.com\/en\/how-rent-car-morocco-tips-experiences\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"15497\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read all our tips<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

After climbing the 200 steps up the steep alleyways (the panorama has to be earned!), you&#8217;ll discover breathtaking views of the white houses clinging to the hillside and the mausoleum. The landscape is transformed into a breathtaking tableau, an unforgettable moment that&#8217;s perfect for photography enthusiasts.  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Opening hours: open all day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Best times: sunrise and sunset<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

These narrow, steep passages, punctuated by numerous staircases and vaults, plunge you into a peaceful atmosphere far removed from the hustle and bustle of Morocco&#8217;s big cities. We enjoyed the details that punctuate the walk: colorful doors, whitewashed walls, colorful artistic frescoes and shady little squares.

We discovered small, simple and welcoming guesthouses where you can live close to the locals in an authentic atmosphere. We fell in love with the Hotel Kasabah Senhaji. It&#8217;s the ideal place to enjoy a sunrise over Mount Zerhoun, in the morning silence, and feel the spiritual atmosphere that emanates from the village.   <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/ma\/kasabah-senhaji.html?aid=2432849\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Advance booking<\/a> recommended, especially in high season<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paid public parking 5 minutes&#8217; walk from the guesthouse.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.

So we were seduced by Moulay Idriss&#8217;s gastronomy, generous and rooted in its terroir. At the Hotel Kasabah Senhaji, owner Najia welcomed us with stewed tajines (eggs, minced meat and tomatoes) and traditional Moroccan salads such as &#8220;taktouka&#8221; (peppers and tomatoes), entirely homemade with market produce. Tasting Zerhoun olive oil and bread from the communal oven, while enjoying mountain views and birdsong, made our experience even more convivial. Here, you&#8217;ll lunch to the rhythm of the village. Count on a quiet service, conducive to savoring the food and the view.     <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.

Founded in the <sup>3rd<\/sup> century B.C., Volubilis was the ancient capital of the Mauritanian Tingitana region, and is one of the most important archaeological sites in North Africa. An ideal complement to a visit to the village, this Roman city has been a<a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/fr\/list\/836\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">UNESCO<\/a> World Heritage Site since 1997, and the Romans lived here for 3 centuries! Take the time to wander around this immense 42-hectare estate, where you&#8217;ll find remarkably well-preserved mosaics. Just like the forum, the triumphal arch of the emperor Caracalla, which is virtually intact, and the ancient basilica. You&#8217;ll also enjoy a panoramic view of the Guerrouane Mountain and its vineyards, visible behind Volubilis. It&#8217;s a great way to learn about the thousand-year-old history of this region of Maroc in an exceptional setting!     <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Opening hours: 8:30am-6:30pm (summer), 8:30am-5:30pm (winter) &#8211; closes 1h before sunset<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Price: 70 dhs (MAD) \/ adult, 30 dhs (MAD) \/ child (under 12)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dedicated parking at site entrance, please tip car attendant on departure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Toilets at the ticket office and museum (under restoration at the time of our visit)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bring good shoes and sun protection, no shade, avoid times when the sun&#8217;s rays are intense.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Short drive from Moulay Idriss but lots of mountain bends and poor visibility &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/site-archeologique-de-volubilis-l104991\/?partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=maroc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">take a guided tour<\/a> if you don&#8217;t want to drive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other attractions in and around Moulay Idriss<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ve explored the area around the village and found some beautiful places worth a visit to complete your discovery of this region.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mount Zerhoun:<\/strong> hills around the village offering beautiful short walks and panoramic views<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Local village market:<\/strong> Thursday and Sunday souks in the main square<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Moulay-Idriss\/i-Jf45p7V\/0\/LH4mPDwmqHPvpHD5s9L9N329gng8KD5fDfvBVrnc3\/L\/moulay-idriss-zerhoun-village-14-L.jpg\" alt=\"Mount Zerhoun\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mount Zerhoun behind Moulay Idriss<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Excursions around Moulay Idriss<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meknes (40min drive)<\/h3>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Meknes\/Old-city\/i-5hQwG2n\/0\/KdPXx9dtLwV2LKQGxcqJWHZhQTBVWZqJCz2vK9Rvq\/L\/meknes-old-city-3-L.jpg\" alt=\"Meknes Medina seen from the rooftops of a restaurant in the old town\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Meknes Medina seen from the rooftops of a restaurant in the old town<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearby, we made a stop in the imperial city of Meknes.

The road is good and allows you to enjoy the rolling Zerhoun countryside. Pay parking is available at the village entrance.

The road is narrow in the mountains, with many bends and little visibility.    <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Organized tours:<\/strong> if you don&#8217;t want to drive, day trips from Meknes, Fez or even Rabat are ideal. These often include a visit to Volubilis and Moulay Idriss, with transport, guide and sometimes meals included. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/fes-l829\/au-depart-de-fes-excursion-d-une-journee-a-volubilis-moulay-idriss-et-meknes-t505862\/?partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=maroc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">see options<\/a><\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parking in Moulay Idriss<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A public pay parking lot is a 5-minute walk from the Coll\u00e8ge Idriss Ier. Parking in the narrow village streets is difficult. We recommend leaving your car in the parking lot at the entrance and continuing on foot.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Moulay-Idriss\/i-jjgjzGv\/0\/KW9J7gdQ8Ks4ZBCqtzGj9wmm8Gnp3QJZZzprKJkKw\/L\/moulay-idriss-zerhoun-village-1-L.jpg\" alt=\"Village de Moulay Idriss - Parking\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Useful tips for visiting Moulay Idriss<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long and when?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allow half a day to visit the village and a full day if you include the archaeological site of Volubilis. Spring and autumn offer the best weather conditions, with mild temperatures and many hours of sunshine. We advise you to avoid Fridays, when pilgrims gather in large numbers and the day of prayer is celebrated.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Moulay-Idriss\/i-PrMDSgJ\/0\/Lg5PR6DrbCmC6NLQ5p7MrTSpngchXgSHBkT8BgpWB\/L\/moulay-idriss-zerhoun-village-6-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of part of the village\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tour directions, map and difficulties<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start in the main square, then explore the mausoleum before climbing up to the panoramic terraces. The alleyways are steep, with many steps, so bring good walking shoes and sun protection even in the off-season. Bear in mind that the climb up to the viewpoints requires a moderate physical effort. Remember to take breaks.   <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Moulay-Idriss\/i-8P654GJ\/0\/KQdnsNxsPmR6jFXrB8hmcMvWZcfqCMzcwxpwPhCKL\/L\/moulay-idriss-zerhoun-village-8-L.jpg\" alt=\"Village de Moulay Idriss - Useful tips\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visiting with children<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s possible to visit with children, but the alleyways are very steep with lots of stairs, so it&#8217;s best to take a baby carrier with young children rather than a stroller. The confectioner&#8217;s shop we found in the main square will delight them, as will exploring the cylindrical minaret and discovering the ancient mosaics of Volubilis. The peaceful village atmosphere is perfect for families.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Maroc-Lovers\/Moulay-Idriss\/i-p9vQqKs\/0\/NJSj4XbCC2t3q35BXDsVMLs3wqQvsGLZHxG45DL93\/L\/moulay-idriss-zerhoun-village-11-L.jpg\" alt=\"Village alley\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Restaurants<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main square is home to several caf\u00e9s and terraces. On our way back through the narrow streets, we tried out the H\u00f4tel Kasabah Senhaji, a guest house and restaurant offering home-cooked food made with market produce. On the menu: Moroccan salads and tagines accompanied by bread from the communal oven and Zerhoun olive oil.
