Zaouia Moulay Idriss II
The shrine that houses the remains of the founder of the city of
Fez, Moulay Idriss II, is one of the holiest buildings in the city,
enclosed in the depths of the old city. Non-Muslims may not enter
the imposing building, but it is possible to see inside and glimpse
the saint's tomb, which is the subject of a constant devotional
ritual by a group of women who burn candles and incense and make
offerings.
Information & Facts
Language
Arabic is the official language, but eight other
languages are also spoken including Berber, French and Spanish.
English is generally understood in the tourist areas, but French is
the most widely spoken.
Money
The unit of currency is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD), which is
divided into 100 centimes. ATMs are available in the larger towns,
but can be unreliable; currency can be exchanged at banks or
official bureaux de changes, which are also widespread in major
towns. Dirhams cannot be obtained or exchanged outside Morocco and
receipts must be retained as proof of legal currency exchange, as
well as in order to re-exchange money when departing. Major credit
cards are accepted in the larger shops, hotels and restaurants.
Travellers cheques can be used in tourist areas, but are not
prevalent; they are best taken in Euros or Pounds Stirling.
