Ouezzane
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ouezzane (also Wazan) (Arabic: وزان) is a town in northern Morocco, north of Fez, with a population of approximately 57.972(2004). Many Moroccans consider Ouezzane to be a holy city and make pilgrimages there to venerate the tomb of several marabouts (Moroccan saints), particularly moul Anrhaz, the local name for Rabbi Imran Ben Diwan, an eighteenth century rabbi who lived in the city and whose burial site is associated with a number of miracles. Typical of the religious culture in the Berber-dominated areas of Morocco, both Muslims and Jews revere the saint, and a flourishing Sufi community still thrives in the city.
