Bejaâd

Bejaâd lies in the plains of central Morocco, west of the Tadla country. The town grew around the zawiya of the Sufi saint Sidi Bouabid Cherki, who lived in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. His religious community attracted students and followers, and his tomb became a focus of devotion. The settlement’s history is closely tied to this lodge and its influence among the surrounding communities.
