Day 245 & 246: Meknes

Day 245
Date: 4 May 2009

Spent the whole day travelling from Chefchaouen to Meknes because there are no direct bus and I had to go back to Fes for a connecting bus. Back in Fes, I met up with Adelynn(the Singaporean girl) and we decided to travel together.

Day 246
Date: 5 May 2009

I cant help but notice that the door knob on my room's door is at the center of the door and that it does not turn!!



Wanted to grab some snacks but even though these looks tempting, those bees deterred me.





Meknes (Arabic: مكناس‎, Berber: Meknas or Ameknas, French: Meknès, Spanish: Mequinez) is a city in northern Morocco, located 130 kilometres from the capital Rabat and 60 kilometres (37 mi) from Fes. It was the capital of Morocco under the reign of Moulay Ismail (1672–1727), before it was relocated to Marrakesh.

















It is not as impressive and massive as Fes and Marrakesh, and it is very managenable. Since it's relatively ignored by most tourists, it's also free of the usual hassles (touts, faux guides, etc) that plague the other tourist centers.





























The prices in Meknes are among the most reasonable in Morocco and the people are much more polite and nicer than in the other cities. Lets take a walk through the back lanes have have a look at the local lifestyle.
