Zawiya Sidi Bel-Abbes
Zawiya Sidi Bel-Abbes, MAplace
About
This zawiya – shrine to a marabout (saint) is Marrakesh's most important and has been finely restored. The current building dates from the Saadian era and honours the renowned holy man Sidi Bel-Abbes – who died and was buried here in 1205. Non-Muslims can't enter the hallowed confines, but can walk through the arched arcade (note the intricate stucco-work on both gates) and into the courtyard to view its minaret, fountain and the elaborately decorated entrance way of the shrine itself.
