''A Visit to Wazan: The Sacred City of Morocco'' is a travelogue written by Robert Spence Watson, depicting his journey to the city of Wazan in Morocco. The book provides a detailed account of the author’s experiences, observations, and interactions with the people and culture of Wazan, a city revered by Moroccan Muslims as a sacred site.Watson’s narrative is a fascinating insight into the religious customs and practices of the Moroccan people, as he describes the various rituals and ceremonies that take place in the city. He also explores the architecture and history of the city, including the famous mausoleum of Sidi Ahmed Tijani, a revered Sufi saint.Throughout the book, Watson reflects on the cultural differences he encounters as a westerner, and the challenges he faces in navigating the unfamiliar terrain of Wazan. However, he also expresses his admiration for the hospitality and kindness of the Moroccan people, and the beauty of their traditions.Overall, ''A Visit to Wazan'' is a compelling and informative account of one man’s journey to a sacred city, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the culture and history of Morocco.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
