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)

Very nice staff, great looking property but issues
"The manager and worker were very sweet and we loved the look of the property/the rooms but we were disappointed when I couldn't get my toilet to flush (it finally did but then the water ran the entire time), the hot water to work or electricity to be reliable. Also, as nice as the staff was, they ..."

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!
