Tazroute

Tazroute lies in the northern Moroccan mountain country near Jbel Alam, the site of the shrine of the Sufi saint Abd al-Salam ibn Mashish. The saint lived in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and became an important figure in the religious life of the region. His tomb on the mountain drew pilgrims, linking the villages of the western Rif through a shared tradition of devotion.
