Meknès - Morocco's forgotten Imperial City

I love Meknès, it is one of Morocco’s four Imperial Cities, that is cities that were once the capital. The others were Fez, Marrakesh & Rabat, the current capital.

Morocco's fourth imperial city, at sixty kilometres from Fez and ninety from Rabat, it sits in the middle of a country whose most famous destinations draw enormous crowds, and yet it receives a fraction of the visitors that those destinations attract. The result is a city where you can walk through a magnificent gate and have it to yourself, where the medina's souk operates as a genuine market rather than a tourist experience, and where the evening square has the character of a local gathering rather than a performance for visitors.
