Zaouia of Sidi Ben Slimane al-Jazouli

The tomb of a 15th-century scholar whose book of prayers — the Dala'il al-Khayrat — was once the most copied Arabic manuscript after the Quran. Pilgrims carried copies of it on the hajj. Soldiers carried copies into battle. The zaouia that holds his tomb is quiet, shaded, and almost entirely overlooked by visitors who walk past it to reach the souks.
