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, Heri es-Souani and Bab el-Mansour are some notable places to visit nearby.

"Didnt like the bathroom facility: no shower door, bathroom /toilet open to bedroom, no extraction fan in bathroom. Food was excellent and terrace was very pleasant. The staff, Aziz, Mobamad and Omar were very courteous and helpful/accomodating."

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
