Ouazzane is a northern Moroccan town with a compact café-filled centre set against the foothills of the Rif mountains, and a long-standing reputation as a spiritual capital across the Islamic world. The city has been called "Dar Dmana" — House of Safety — and holds the tomb of an 18th-century Idrisi Sharif. It is also a pilgrimage destination for Moroccan Jews, who venerate the tomb of the 18th-century rabbi Amram ben Diwan, whose burial site is associated with miracles.
