Since his death, every summer, the Sufi brotherhoods come from all over the country attend the festivities and prayers in honor of the saint on the occasion of Moussem. The pilgrims go to this holy place because they can not go to Mecca to receive the blessing of the grandson of the prophet Mohammed. It is the pilgrimage of the poor.
The faithful approach the tomb covered with a cloth of golden silk, on which they put their hand to ask the Baraka (blessing) and the favors of Idris I.
