    Mausoleum of Sidi ben Aïssa

    If you exit the medina via Bab Berrima and follow the lane north, hugging the outside of the city wall, you'll eventually come across workers busily stuffing mattresses. A left turn here takes you northwest to the newly restored mausoleum of Sidi ben Aïssa . Sidi ben Aïssa gave rise to one of the more extreme religious fraternities in Morocco. His followers gather here in July from all over Morocco and further afield.
