Zawiya of Sidi Abdallah Ben Hassoun
Salé, MAplace
Salé's patron saint, Sidi Abdallah Ibn Hassoun, was a 16th-century Sufi cleric and teacher. He is revered by Moroccan Muslims as a patron of travellers in much the same way as St Christopher is revered among Catholics. An annual candlelit pilgrimage and procession in his honour makes its way through the streets of Salé on the evening of Mouloud (the Prophet's birthday), ending at this zawiya (religious shrine) behind the Grand Mosque, which only Muslims may enter.
