Meknes 1 Day adventure

On this 1 day of fez day tours, we will visit Meknes. Meknes was the capital of Morocco under the rule of Moulay Ismail (1672– 1727) and then the capital was migrated to Marrakesh. Indeed, it is named after a Berber clan which, was known as Miknasa. Meknes saw its brilliant age as the supreme capital of Moulay Ismail following his promotion to the Sultanate of Morocco (1672– 1727). He introduced under the old city a vast jail to house Christian mariners caught on the ocean, and furthermore developed various buildings, gardens, stupendous doors, mosques (whence the city’s epithet of “City of a Hundred Minarets”) and the extensive line of divider, having a length of 40 kilometers (25 miles).
