Meknes

From Fes we took a day trip to Meknes. We again took the train. Meknes is one of the empirical cities, though not as popular as Fes or Marrakesh. However, it is the city with the largest gate, called the Bab Mansour:

Across from the gate is the main tourist square with many restaurants and gift shops:

Some parts of the city are not in great shape:

Meknes also has a really nice Madrasa:









View from the dormitories:



The Madrasa also had a rooftop with a view of the city:





And a bathroom:



And of course lots and lots of touristy shops:
