Jarawa

Jarawa was a town of the eastern Maghreb associated with the Idrisid prince Abu al-Aysh Isa. Medieval accounts describe a walled settlement with a citadel, a congregational mosque, bathhouses and wells, surrounded by cultivated land and villages. In the tenth century control of the town became entangled in the struggles of the region's rulers, and Abu al-Aysh's son al-Hasan was driven out by Musa ibn Abi al-Afiya.
