Moulay Bouâaza (مولاي بوعزة) is a Middle Atlas village, in the province of Khénifra (Béni Mellal-Khénifra region), organised around the shrine of a venerated saint. Located at roughly 33.22° north latitude and 6.20° west longitude, at mid-altitude on the Atlas plateaus, it has a continental climate: hot summers, cool winters. A place of pilgrimage, Moulay Bouâaza owes its fame to the mausoleum of the saint who gave it its name.
The village of Moulay Bouâaza was born around the tomb of Abou Yaâza (Moulay Bou Azza), a famous 12th-century Amazigh Sufi saint, renowned for his asceticism and venerated as the spiritual master of several figures of Moroccan Sufism. His mausoleum has for centuries been a place of pilgrimage (ziyara). Religious practice here follows the Maliki rite, coloured by a strong tradition of veneration of the saints.
Religious life in Moulay Bouâaza is marked by the saint's shrine and the pilgrimages around it, within the Moroccan Maliki and Sufi tradition. The mausoleum (darih) draws visitors from all over the country, and the local moussem sets the calendar. The village's mosques, such as the one dedicated to the Prophet Ibrahim al-Khalil, host the daily and Friday prayers.
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in Moulay Bouâaza follows rukyat, the official sighting of the crescent moon announced by the Ministry of Habous. This method can produce a one-day difference from the Saudi calendar, notably for Ramadan and the two Eids. During Ramadan, Morocco suspends summer time, shifting all prayer times by about an hour for the duration of the month.
The mid-range latitude (~33.2° N) and the altitude of the Atlas plateaus give Moulay Bouâaza prayer times with a marked seasonal swing. In winter, Fajr is observed around 06:25 and Maghrib around 17:40; in summer, Fajr falls around 04:20 and Isha around 21:50–22:20 depending on the method. The published times follow the Ministry of Habous method.
Moulay Bouâaza is organised around the saint's shrine and a few village mosques. Here are the most notable.
The mausoleum of Abou Yaâza, a 12th-century Sufi saint, the spiritual heart of the village and an old place of pilgrimage.

'Hay Saada' means the neighbourhood of happiness. A mosque in the village.
A mosque bearing the name of King Hassan II, one of Moulay Bouâaza's places of prayer.
