Moulay Idriss Zerhoun

The holy town of Moulay Idriss Zerhoun draped across two hills above the Saïss plain

Morocco's holiest town, draped across two hills above the Saïss plain. Moulay Idriss I — the founder of the first Moroccan dynasty — is buried here. Until 2005, non-Muslims could not stay overnight. The town is now open, and the rooftop views across to Volubilis are among the most dramatic in the country.

We pair Moulay Idriss with Volubilis — they face each other across the valley. Lunch on a rooftop here, looking at Roman ruins, is one of our favourite stops.
