Ouazzane

Ouezzane is a city in northern Morocco, with a population of 59,606 recorded in the 2014 Moroccan census.
The city is well known in Morocco and throughout the Islamic world as a spiritual capital, for it was home to several pillars of Sufism. It has also been known as "Dar Dmana" due to its containing the tomb of the 18th-century Idrisi Sharif.
Many Jews of Morocco consider Ouezzane to be a holy city and make pilgrimages there to venerate the tombs of several marabouts, particularly moul Anrhaz, the local name for Amram ben Diwan, an eighteenth-century rabbi. He lived in the city, and his burial site is associated with a number of miracles.
During the Rif rebellion in 1925–1926, Ouezzane was an important supply base for the French Army. Ouezzane was connected by a 600 mm gauge narrow gauge railway via Ain Dfali, Mechra Bel Ksiri to Port Lyautey, now Kenitra, forming part of the 1912–1914 French-built extensive narrow gauge network of Chemins de fer Militaires du Maroc, the largest 600 mm gauge network that ever existed in Africa with a total length of more than 1702 kilometres.
