To support Why Morocco, please consider buying me a coffee nouss nouss.
On this week’s episode of Why Morocco, Rose Button, the first female, non-Muslim guesthouse owner in the holy town of Moulay Idriss near Fez, Morocco, sat down with me during her Ramadan stay to chat about visiting this often over-looked hillside village. We also talked about her guest house Dar Zerhoune, her initiative to help the donkeys, and slow travel in Moulay Idriss, a place where non-Muslims were unable to stay the night until the rules changed in 2005.
