View this post on Instagram 📍 📍 MEKNES 📍 📍 👉👉 Quieter and smaller than its grand neighbor Fez, Meknes feels rather overshadowed and receives fewer visitors than it should. It’s more laid-back with less hassle, yet still has all the winding narrow medina streets and grand buildings that it warrants as an imperial city and one-time home of the Moroccan sultanate 👑. 👉👉 Morocco has four old imperial cities. Rabat is the go-ahead capital, Marrakesh has the tourist bling, Fez its epic medina and Meknes… well, Meknes is unfairly overlooked by far too many visitors. It has a wealth of grand architecture 💯, from the incredible grain stores of Shreij Es-Souani to the imposing gate of Bab Mansour 🚪 and the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail 📿 (currently under restoration). Place el-Hedim is a mini Djemaa el Fna but without the tourist focus, and it’s only a hop and skips away to the Roman ruins at Volubilis 📜. 📲👇📲👇📲👇📲👇📲 👇👇WEBSITE👇👇 👉 www.moroccofriendlytravel.com 👈 👇👇INSTAGRAM 👇👇 👉@moroccofriendlytravel 👈 👇👇WEIBO👇👇 👉@moroccofriendlytravel 👈 #tetouan #oujda #kenitra #marocaine #fez #meknes #meknès #hongkonginstagrammer #instatravel #wanderlust #sky #landscape #sun #likeforlikes #adventure #vacation #tourism #naturephotography #landscapephotography #lifestyle #holiday #instapic #beautifuldestinations #summertime #amazing #travelbook #agencymodel #influenceragency A post shared by 🇲🇦Morocco Friendly Travel🇲🇦 (@moroccofriendlytravel) on Sep 11, 2019 at 2:54am PDT
