Zaouiya Ennaciria
The Zaouiya Ennaciria in Larache is a branch of the influential Naciria Sufi brotherhood, originally founded in Tamegroute. Located in the Bab al-Bahr neighborhood of the old medina, it historically served as a center for spiritual guidance, Quranic education, and social welfare. During the Spanish protectorate, it played a vital role in preserving Moroccan cultural and religious identity by continuing the teaching of Arabic and Islamic sciences.
