Tour description
Meknes is one of Morocco's four imperial cities, a UNESCO World Heritage gem famous for the monumental gate of Bab Mansour and the vast building projects of Sultan Moulay Ismail. Quieter than nearby Fez, it offers grandeur without the crowds. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its heritage.
You will stand before the magnificent Bab Mansour, wander the medina and its souks, and hear about the sultan who tried to build a Moroccan Versailles. Along the way you will discover the crafts and history of the city. Grand and historic, Meknes is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
