Imperial city
Monumental gates and royal granaries in a city that moves at a gentler pace than Fes.
About Meknes
Meknes became an imperial capital under Sultan Moulay Ismail in the late 17th century, and its walls, gates and stables still reflect that ambition. Its historic city is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Most journeys pair it with Volubilis, the best-preserved Roman site in Morocco, set among olive groves nearby.
