Babouche slippers outside the tomb

The Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail in Meknès, Morocco, includes a series of courtyards that lead visitors from the noise and chaos of the street to the peace of the tomb itself. In this, the final courtyard, a single pair of babouche slippers indicates that someone is inside, no doubt at prayer by the tomb itself. You can see more pictures of from the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail at http://explorationvacation.net/2014/03/the-mausoleum-of-moulay-ismail-in-meknes-morocco/
