Festival of Moulay Idriss


Yesterday the Medina of Fez came to a standstill as tens of thousands of people lined the streets to watch the parade from the Bab Boujeloud to the Mausoleum of Moulay Idriss.


For several hours the crowds were entertained by the amazing music of the many Sufi Brotherhoods

The excitement was too much for one female tourist (pictured above) who danced herself into a frenzy and then began to remove her clothes. Her modesty was quickly restored by the unimpressed locals.
