I often come to Azemmour from my home in El Jadida for a wander around the Ancienne Medina and have passed by the shrine on numerous occasions but have never managed to find anyone to let me in. Last November, I was in luck. I was showing an American friend around the town and we met one of the young musicians who performs at the Prive restaurant in Jadida. He lives virtually next to the shrine and he said he could find someone to let us in. Fair enough, he spoke to a guy who had some keys and we entered the sanctuary. Unfortunately neither my acquaintance nor the key bearer knew much about the history of the saint or the shrine and the elderly Jewess who is sometimes present by arrangement was not in evidence that day. The shrine comprises of several rooms, some subterranean, containing artifacts and books in Hebrew. It is maintained by a charitable Jewish foundation which also owns the land above the cave and which the guardian confirmed will build a retreat and hostel for pilgrims there - we saw evidence of the starting of that work. Outside the shrine, there's a well-tended square with a view over the river. We certainly didn't get any hassle from children or vendors either around the building or anywhere in Azemmour at all. It's a sad visit nonetheless to think that vibrant, integrated and established Jewish communities were lured from Morocco by false promises leaving just a few of their community behind with their treasured edifices and traditions. This contribution to Moroccan life cannot be erased, fortunately. It's certainly worth a visit, especially if you can get in. My visitor friend tipped the guardian 20 dirhams. This might grease the hinges of the door for future visitors if they do the same.

The first time I came to El Jadida was in the early 80s and you could just walk into the cistern if you could find it! These days unless you are Moroccan it will cost you the equivalent of €6, but I still think that it is worthwhile. It reminds me of the Mezquita in Cordoba and the peace and coolness is enveloping. Tip - the loo is also clean and free!

You can see this shrine near the Casa Post Station. For a long time the patron saint of Casablanca was Sidi el Kairouani. Then since the second last century Sidi Balyout was given this status and this district was named after him. The current Koubba or tomb was built in 1881. As with all other holy men this saint also has an interesting legend. It is believed that he was a shepherd who had a pet lion which guarded him and his sheep. Hence, he was called Abou Louyout or the father of lions. People believe that he had a strange influence on the wild beast and thus protected the city. He is also believed to have been gifted by ubiquity by Allah so he could be seen at different places at the same time. People of Casablanca believe that drinking from the fountain near this shrine has miraculous results.

One if three stations in Casablanca, a short walk from the Old Medina & a number of major chain hotels. A regular service to the airport, about one hour, runs from here.
