Telouet – Tichka Pass Mountain Region

Shattered throughout this region, Jewish pilgrims visit Jewish shrines and cemeteries annually. Furthermore, the Jewish Zaouia of Telouet is near Marrakesh. 

Moulay Ighi – Telouet

Muslims and Jews pay for the tomb of Moulay Ighi pilgrimage. It is on the road to Ouarzazate, on a hilltop encircled by the Atlas Mountains. Muslims and Jews from the country would unite and move on foot to visit Rabbis’ tombs and pray for their intervention in their daily lives. Also, there is a modern synagogue, and guesthouses are available for pilgrims who wish to stay.

Ourigane – Rabbi Mordekhai & Rabbi Abrahm Ben Hammou

A dirty old road leads to the compounds of ancient buildings, its territory marked with a gate, and on rocky terrain. There are three tombs inside, one with a burial spot of Rabbi Haim Ben Diwan and the other two making it apparent that they were his disciples. 

Fes 

Fes was home to a large Morocco Jewish package community with a famous Jewish synagogue- Ibne Danan. An American Express and World Monuments Fund partnership helped restore the monument. Apart from where Rabbis are buried in Jewish cemeteries, the Moroccan women consider the ‘Tomb Solika’ a sacred site. 

The Morocco Jewish holidays Tour will take you to the most important sights of Morocco’s history as a place of refuge for Jews fleeing persecution in Europe.
