Ouezzane

Holy mountain town in the Jbala region, home to an important Sufi zawiya, a fragrant souk and terraced olive groves cascading down the mountainside

Highlights

• Zaouia Ouezzane: Revered Sufi shrine of the Wazzani order, with an octagonal minaret and a still-active spiritual community
• Terraced Olive Groves: The mountain medina is surrounded by silver-green terraced olive groves — stunning in spring when wild flowers cover the slopes
• Jbala Craft Souks: Covered souks famous for olive wood carving, hand-stitched Jbala embroidery and high-quality local olive oil
