Tombs of the most veneered saints Ghleumyine Though not customary for most Muslims, the tradition of marabouts, or saints, and intercessory prayer continues to be observed in Morocco. People seeking healing, aid or enlightenment visit the tombs of such notables to gather in prayer. The marabouts – also called walis, cherifs or saints – are usually buried in small chapels. Inside the marabout’s tomb, you will always find the same scene: pilgrims – both men and women – sitting around the tomb while others cover their heads with the holy man’s flag and remain motionless, as though confessing their sins.
