Where to stay in Meknes

One of the oldest gates in all of Morocco, Bab Mansour in Meknes was completed in 1737. 

This is one of the parts of the gate that I was in utter awe of it's detail and beauty. 

Today there is an arts and craft gallery through the doors. So cool.

Definitely you need to check it out. WORTH. IT. :)

Hamria

3.5/5(3 area reviews)

While Hamria isn't home to many top sights, Place el-Hedim and Bab el-Mansour are some notable places to visit nearby.

"Room was fairly basic, but clean. Everything (outlets, fridge, TV etc.) worked. Breakfast was great. Pool and garden very peaceful. One annoyance: hall lights are on a timer that turns off before I could reach my room. Altogether very nice. I’ll likely return the next time I travel to Meknes."

Meknes is awesome, very awesome. It’s my wife’s city and I love the people. Expect for the ibis host who checked me inn and called my room to pay taxes at 10pm. I hate you!

3/5 - Okay
