Moulay Idriss was not built over the grave of the Fatimite prophet, first of the name, whose bones lie in the Zerhoun above his sacred town.

The work up to December, 1917, comprises: A channel 100 metres long and three metres deep, cut through the bar of the Sebou. Jetties built on each side of the channel. Quay 100 metres long.

General Lyautey began his great task of civilian administration.
