Lonely Planet review

Abou Bakr ibn Arabi arrived in Fez from Seville in the 11th century. An ala (learned man) and an imam, he was on a pilgrimage to meet all of the renowned ulama (Islamic scholars) of his day. So taken was he with the learned atmosphere of Fez that he returned here after his trip. When he died, the Fassis built this mausoleum with its green-tiled dome to honour his memory. You'll find it just outside the medina ramparts, to the east of Bab Sagma.
