Why pilgrims come
A sacred place worth the journey.
A rural Franciscan house of prayer and hospitality about sixty kilometers from Marrakech, where the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi host retreats centered on spiritual renewal, local life, and sustained Christian–Muslim encounter.
The pilgrim’s guide
What makes this visit meaningful
Turn a Morocco itinerary into retreat here. The point is not merely sleeping in a former monastery but sharing prayer, quiet, local rural life, and the Franciscan sisters' patient practice of encounter with Muslim neighbors.
Franciscan hospitality
Receive the house as a place of relationship, simplicity, and prayer.
Encounter with Islam
Learn from Christians who pursue friendship and theological attentiveness through long local presence.
A real retreat stay
Arrange enough time for silence, shared reflection, and rural rhythms rather than a brief photo stop.
Retreat participants stay at the house by advance arrangement with the Franciscan sisters; it is not a walk-in hotel.
