Best Tours to Meknes, MoroccoExplore Meknes: Unveiling Morocco's Hidden Gem with Exceptional Guided Tours

Meknes, a historic city nestled in the heart of Morocco, resonates with an aura of grandeur and cultural richness. As one of the four imperial cities, Meknes is often overshadowed by its older sisters, Fez and Marrakech. Meknes is a well-deserving of a bit of the limelight from those visiting Morocco. Founded in the 11th century by the Almoravid dynasty, the city of Meknes flourished under its subsequent rulers, most notably Sultan Moulay Isma’il. In the 17th century, the Sultan transformed the city into a majestic imperial city. The ambitious architectural projects of the Sultan, including the construction of grand gates, palaces, and sprawling fortifications, earned Meknes the moniker, “the Versailles of Morocco.” In 1996, Meknes gained UNESCO World Heritage status, yet the numbers of tourists visiting the city has remained relatively low, meaning that the city’s cultural identity has been kept wholly intact, and visitors are unlikely to be hassled by vendors when compared to some of the larger cities.
