Meknes Medina

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

3.5/5(3 area reviews)

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