Moulay Idriss : Moulay Idriss is one of the most famous pilgrimage sites in Morocco. Its name honors Idriss I (one), grandson of Muhammad and the founder of the dynasty Idrisid. The religious status of the city led to the mid-twentieth century was closed to non-Muslims. Currently the only place forbidden is the mausoleum of Moulay Idriss.

Meknes : Meknes is the most modest of the four Imperial Cities of Morocco, which makes it a different, much quieter and relaxed than Fes, Marrakech and Rabat. Meknes is surrounded by fields, with agricultural products one of the foundations of the city’s economy.

Interestingly, this region produces the largest quantity of wine from Morocco, which is already in itself surprising, since Muslims are forbidden to drink alcohol.
