This half-day historical and cultural tour will make you discover the history and magic of Meknes since its foundation and this through the visit of its fabulous monuments including: - The “Old Medina”: Created in the 8th century by the Berber tribe Meknassa and modified by the Marinid dynasty in the 14th century. Narrow neighborhoods and their characteristics reflect the way of life of the city’s citizens. - The "Jewish Quarter" with all the necessary amenities: cemetery, Hebrew school… - The «Imperial City»: Created in the 17th century by King Moulay Ismail «the great rival of the king of France Louis 14» and founded as the Ismaili capital of the kingdom during his reign. This kasbah, protected by 40km long ramparts with fortification gates, holds signs of the power of the Alaouite dynasty and the magical way of life of the Meknassi citizens. - So what are you waiting for to discover Meknes ?
- At first, we will start from the panoramic view of the entire Medina: a tower of the remparts passing by the fortification doors and entering from the one of the extreme west “Bab EL Khemiss” to go to the Jewish quarter - In a second, I propose to discover some monuments: •the Agdal basin, •the granaries of Moulay Ismail & royal stables, •the Royal Palace, •the royal garden & golf course, •the underground prison Qara, - Afterwards, a walk is a must. In the old Medina, between the narrowest streets of the city.
