What to do and see in Meknes, Meknes-Tafilalet Region: The Best Things to do Good for Couples
Overlooked by many tourists, Meknes is a bustling modern city of nearly a million in northern Morocco, about 80 miles inland from the capital of Rabat. Local hero Moulay Ismail made Meknes Morocco's hub at the end of the 17th and beginning of the 18th centuries, and his mausoleum is one of the city's main attractions. The Museum of Moroccan Art (housing fascinating jewels and artifacts) and Bab Mansour (the largest and most stunning of the city's gates) are other Meknes sights not to be missed.

"The new wine of the new Morocco" Winery tours, tastings and much more...
Reviewed By melampman - Hamilton, Canada
This winery was a stop on our tour! It was a charming, beautiful property! The tour was very interesting and ended at a lovely table set in the vineyard where we tasted 4 different wines. It was a relaxing and wonderful way to sample what Volubilia had to offer! Our tour guide and server was delightful and we had a lot of fun! Sadly they do not as yet distribute to Canada!

On our trip to Fez we decided to visit this place after reading about it online, and tasting it's delicious wine in A restaurant of Chefchaouen. And what a day it was. Booking our visit was not easy, as they did not receive word of our call a couple of days prior... But then, we were already at the gate, so they let us in. Make sure you call in advance, note the name of the person you spoke to, and differentiate what you want (wine tasting, visit of the cellars, restaurant, hotel or Spa). We ended up buying a couple of bottles, having a massage and lunch. Although expensive ($$$$) , it was totally worth it.

Meknes Medina is the old town of the imperial city of Meknes, 1 hour far from Fez, the most important city in the region. The Medina is very beautiful, so, walking on the old streets, seeing the buildings, visit the most important places and buying in the shops is an incredible experience. We did a guided tour with a local guide and really it was very interesting. We visited Bou Inania Madrassa (a Muslim school), where you can go up to the top and see wonderful views of the city and the Big Mosque or you can see the central courtyard, a fantastic example of Arabic Art. Also we visited a public oven, the blacksmiths neighborhood, the carpenters neihhborhood, zocos, the main market, where you can buy a lot of different sweets. And obviously El Hedim Square and Bab Mansour Gate, the main square of the city and the center, where all local people come at evening. Really fantastic places! (see also Bab Mansour Gate, Bou Inania Medersa and El Hedim Square)
