After you pass the main gait you come across a door on your right hand. That is the door to the Royal Palace (see the 3rd picture).
When I arrived at the gaits of the Mosque and tomb there was a no picture sign, so I was not able to take pictures @ the tomb. After that you can enter anothe hall where these is more tombs.One of them belonged to Moulay Rashed, who was a Servant of Mouly Idress. Rashid and Idress fled together from Madina in the Arbian Peninsula following the defeat in the battle of Fakh. Rashid was also responsible in looking after and raising Idress II .
The tomb and the mosque was built by Moulay Ismail, there was something stating that this mosques had significant renovation done by Mohammed 6th.

This where you'll find every thing. The mausoleum, internet cafes, Resturants, Shoping, even if you are looking for an apartemnt. I was in mouly idress in the summer and the main square was full of peope up to 11 pm. You could still see people after mid night. The resturants are very good and very affordable. It does not matter what resturant you chose, they are more or less the same. There plenty of cafes. If you are looking for a place to sit, drink and watch people. This square is the place to be.

Haroon is aquiduct system that brings water into town, the view is spectacular. This was buil by the french in 1920
Elhemma is hot springs just outside of town. It is near the queries where the roman got the stone to build Volibilus. What is interesting is the presence of marks and evidence of the cutting. It is not far from town but you'll need one of the locals to show it to you. We went to El Hemma and Haroon by a car but I was told it is very walk able distance. The locals usually have a bath @ this location

Things To Do: Kasbah and other things

These 4 things are very close to each others and can be seen in 1/2 hour or so
Kasbah , it is Just a gate with is leads to one alley only. I was told there was another Kasbah but I did not get to see it. To get to this one walk up hill from the bus station and you'll see a car park on the left hand side, walk towards it and you'll see the gate.
Saturday Market and the Cylindrical Menerate , after you are done with seeing the Kasbah return to the street and keep on walking up hill and you'll see the green minaret,on your right hand side. This is not connected to the mausoleum of Molay Idress like one of the ohter tip suggested. If you continiou walking uphill you'll also see steps to you right. These steps will lead you to the place where the market is held on Saturday (I think). I did not include a picture for this place
If you get back on the rood you'll and keep walking you'll see another steps leading to a building to you right hand. This buildinb is home to the ministry of culture. There was nothing going on when I was in the city but I was told there is a photo exhibit or local art gallery once in a while, so if you are in town drop by and see if anything is going on.
