Moulay Idriss or Moulay Idriss Zerhoun (Arabic: مولاي إدريس), a town in northern Morocco is named after Moulay Idris I, the founder of the Idrisid Dynasty. Moulay is a term roughly equivalent to "Saint". Idris founded both Fez and the city that bears his name. His tomb, located in Moulay Idriss, is a pilgrimage site for Muslims. The mosque, however, is off limits to non-Muslims (and has a sign to that effect at the entrance to the courtyard)
The ruins of the Phoenician and Roman city of Volubilis are located nearby. The nearest big city is Meknes, 25 kilometres away (served both by bus and "Grand Taxi").
