A Zaouia is a convent where disciples of Islam spend hours praying, singing, and meditating. It's next to the Bab Taghzout, next to the mosque of Sidi Bel Abbes. It's a place of pilgrimage, including a mausoleum built by the Saadian Sultan Abdallah Ben where Sidi bel Abbess, one of the seven saints of the city, is buried. Ps : The zaouia of Sidi Bel Abbes is a place that wouldn't normally be accessible to non-Muslims, but in this case it is, because it is not enclosed within the walls of the mosque. #Marrakech #Zaouia #SidiBelAbess #WikiKech (at Mosqué Sidi Belabbes)
