    A short drive from Volubilis takes you to Moulay Idriss, one of Morocco’s most sacred towns. Nestled on two hills, this picturesque village is home to the tomb of Moulay Idriss I, the founder of Morocco’s first Islamic dynasty. While non-Muslims cannot enter the mausoleum, you can stroll through the narrow streets, admire the whitewashed buildings, and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views from a hilltop vantage point. Moulay Idriss offers a glimpse into traditional Moroccan life, and a short visit here—typically around 30 minutes—is enough to soak in its peaceful atmosphere.
