THE SEVEN SAINTS OF MARRAKECH

The Seven Saints square in Marrakech is located near the Bab Doukkala gate. Seven are the towers spaced about 20 meters from each other on the top of which there are 7 olive trees.
The seven saints of Marrakech are:
Sidi Youssef Ben Ali
Fall Ayyad
Sidi Bel Abbès
Sidi Ben Slimane al-Jazouli
Sidi Abdelaziz Tebbâa
Sidi Abdellah El Ghazouani
Imam Souheili
All these saints were great scholars in Islamic theology or great Sufi mystics. It should be remembered that the holy term does not refer exclusively to a person of faith who has performed miracles, but also to very pious people who during their life have done good to others, teaching morals and religion. The most important of these saints is certainly Sidi Bel Abbès, considered by the inhabitants of Marrakech as the true and only patron of the city.
