You will love the nobility and style of Meknès! It is one of the most beautiful imperial cities in Morocco with its 25km of ramparts and its magnificent gates including Bab el Mansour, which was reconstructed in Paris in 1999 to celebrate the year of Morocco in France.
You will also love the warmth of the population and atmosphere of the souks in the medina where everyday life is an exceptional spectacle, combining colours, fragrances and spicy aromas.
There are also the palaces, including the splendid Jamaï Palace housing the museum of Moroccan Arts, the Bou Inania médersa, a masterpiece of Hispano-Moorish architecture, the mosques, fountains, terraces and gardens that make Meknès a dazzling town. Called the “Moroccan Versailles”, its medina is on the Unesco world heritage list since 1996.
