The seven men of Marrakesh are Awlya (plural of Wali). Awlya is an Arabic word that refers to people who Allah has blessed with a special rank among the Muslims.. It’s been said that these seven saints were the seven men who shone in their times as lights of guidance because of the blessings that Allah showered upon them.
Since the 17th century, Moroccans from all walks of life have constantly visited the graves of the seven saints in Marrakesh to pray to Allah. They are drawn to the idea that visiting these graves could heal their diseases, help them fulfill their wishes, and allow them to achieve tranquility of their souls.

An amazing tour, with excellent information provided. Our tour guide was brilliant, very helpful and informative. Highly recommend for anyone looking to appreciate culture and historical figures, especially Islamic saints and scholars. A must for all, however, please note there is a lot of walking involved so good walking shoes is a must
