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

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

"We had to wait 20 mins for someone to come and open the door. Kept knocking on door no one was at reception so we had to ask the neighbors to call the person and then he took another 25 mins to come. Facility was so dirty and no towels in the room"

not sure is what this city has to offer to tourists. The driving is horrible, public transportation is not recommended for foreigners, walking is still ok. Downtown area (hamria) is decent and generally cleaner, lahdim always smells like horses urine

5/5 - Excellent

We wish we had booked more time in Meknes, it was actually a lot nicer than the highly touted Marrakech, 5e food was less expensive and of better quality and the culture felt a lot more genuine.
