Photographer's Note

Moulay Idriss is a small town, it was closed for no-muslins in the past because is here the tomb of the first Moroccan king, who was grandson of Mohammed. It is a center of pilgrimage. Those ones who can't afford a trip to Meca can visit the mosque and the tomb and this trip will have the same worth.
Here we can see the general view othe place, build over two hills, you can recognize the main mosque between the hills. Unfortunately the light was bad and the image isn't so nice.

.....................................................

Moulay Idriss é uma cidadezinha que estava fechada aos não-muçulmanos no passado porque é o local onde está sepultado o primeiro rei marroquino, neto de Maomé, portanto um centro de peregrinação. Aqueles que não conseguem pagar uma viagem a Meca podem visitar a mesquita e a tumba e isso terá o mesmo valor religioso.
Vemos aqui uma vista geral do lugar, erguido sobre duas colinas, podem ver a mesquita principal entre elas. Infelizmente a luz era má e a imagem não é muito boa.
