Where to stay in Al Ismailia

An old madrasa in the center of the medina, with a courtyard full of detailed carvings, beautiful mosaics and great views from the rooftop. #meknes #morocco

Meknes Medina

You'll enjoy the museums and monuments in Meknes Medina. You might want to make time for a stop at El Hedim Square or Bou Inania Medersa.

Meknes Medina
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

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