>> Meknes
After Fes, we took the train to the quieter Meknes. The medina here is less touristy. In this section of the market, the streets were filled with more modern items.
A madrasa inside the medina.
We climbed the roof of this madrasa for a great view over the medina. The call to prayer came from the minaret beside us, and we could see all the minarets sticking up around us with the simultaneous call, while below us lay the hustle and bustle of the medina. Quite an experience!
Peeking inside a mosque. A child spotted me and was beginning to warn me not to go inside, but I explained that yes, I knew this was a place for him, and not for me. Even at a young age the children's level of French was excellent.
The ramparts of the Dar al-Kebira (Imperial City) testify to Meknes' former glory. This is the Bab al-Mansour.
Just ouside the medina was the tomb of Moulay Ismail. We crossed under this gate on the way in.
Looking at the ruins of the old city.
This is entrance to the tomb of Moulay Ismail.
The Tomb is one of the only two religious buildings in Morocco open to non-Muslims.
Selling sheepskins.
The entry to the Medina.
I believe this was from the taxi on the way in.
