On the road to Tetouan in Meknes, Ouezzane s' leans to the north slope of Jebel Bou Hellal.ville siante since Moulay Abdallah, has remained a religious center of reference and a place of pilgrimage.

Full of charm, white medina is full of staircases, vaulted passage and arches. The city is devoid of hotel infrastructure, we will step in Chefchaouen, Fez and Meknes.

From village to political and religious center. The village of Mount Myrtle, or Dechra Jebel er Rihan, Ouezzane ancestor, in 1927 became the center of an important religious brotherhood, the Taibia, when the Sharif Moulay Abdallah, a descendant of Idris II, including a zaouïa Crea. The house was founded Ouezzane turn branches across the Maghreb.

Located on the edge of the old corn el Makhzen (territory under the administration of the sultans) and corn for "Siba" (territory beyond their authority) The zaouia of Ouezzane was beautifully positioned to become an instrument of political and religious influence. It became, indeed, very powerful. His ascendancy was exercised on a regional and national level until the last century. We reached the

zaouia, dominated by an octagonal minaret decorated with interlacing and zelliges, taking a street stairs at the bottom of the vast Independence. It then passes to the mosque of Moulay Ali Cherif.

In this neighborhood still several old houses belonging to the sheriffs of Ouezzane and their followers.

Beyond that, we will walk through the souks of carpenters and blacksmiths, before reaching the place Bir Enzarane, triangular. Surrounded by workshops of weavers, it is dominated by the Kasbah district. Grand bazaar on Thursday.

Further, we can enter and wander through the souks of fun and join the street Abdullah bin Lamlih which, cons up shrines, returns in place of Independence.
