Meknes

Meknes Square

Meknes was my least favorite WHS in Morocco. After seeing the medinas of Marrakech and Fes, Meknes (perhaps unfairly) feels underwhelming. The must-see site of Meknes is the magnificent mosaic gate, Bab El Mansour Laalej, which is one of the first images that pops up when you google the city. Although it was stunning, it did not feel any different from the number of mosaic gates and walls I saw throughout Morocco. The city was pretty empty as well, perhaps a pro for those who prefer a more hole-in-the-wall feeling to their travel plans. I enjoyed Meknes, but I wouldn't recommend anyone go out of the way to see it.
