Seven Saints of Marrakesh

A monument commemorating the Seven Saints of Marrakesh, erected in 2005 just outside Bab Doukkala (the northeastern gate of the medina)

The Seven Saints of Marrakesh or Patron Saints of Marrakesh (Arabic: سبعة رجال, romanizedSabʿa Rijāl, lit.'Seven Men') are seven historical Muslim figures buried in Marrakesh, Morocco. Each of them was a famous Muslim jurisprudent, scholar or wali (Sufi saint) venerated for their piety or other mystical attributes. Their tombs form the basis of a centuries-old annual pilgrimage or ziyara, during which visitors pray at each of their tombs over seven days.
