The little white building is a very typical sight in all of Morocco.
It's called a "Marabou", and is a saint's tomb. Usually a descendent of the person considered a saint (a holy man) lives near the Marabout and greets pilgrims when they come to visit or to pray. Each Marabou is known for something special. If a girl is looking for a good husband, she knows which one to visit, if someone has a certain illness they know which Marabou will help.. I don't know the name of this Marabou or what his speciality is.
My friends didn't wait as I tarried , taking pictures!
The village cemetary.
Notice there are no tombstones, just flat stones
marking the grave sites.
