The zaouia of Moulay Idriss II First saint of Fez. Access is prohibited to non-Muslims. But going around the left from the door of women, can be seen by either opening the courtyard of the mosque, then the room housing the tomb of the founder and patron saint of the city, Idriss II. … The Zaouia of Moulay Idriss is one of the holiest shrines in Fez. Originally built by the Idrissi Dynasty in the 6th century to honour their founder, it has been restored by the Merenid rulers in the 13th century. Moulay Idriss II is considered a saint and has a particularly large following among women seeking fertility and pilgrims hoping for good luck. They burn candles and proceed to touch the tomb of the saint to get some of his baraka, the magical blessing. Although non-Muslims are not allowed to enter, you can walk around the outside of the zaouia, get a glimpse inside and see the tomb of the saint.
