Such a beautiful experience in meknes in bab el mansour

Still under construction, but you can get a good glimpse of its glory. It will be fabulous when finished.

3 April 2023. Under renovation. It is covered by a big plastic poster. But you can see the finely painted stucco from the edge.

5 Stars – An Unforgettable Desert Experience! Staying at Merzouga Paradise Luxury Camp was truly the highlight of our trip to Morocco! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality. The tents were spotless, beautifully decorated, and surprisingly comfortable—with real beds, private bathrooms, and even hot showers! The food was absolutely delicious—freshly cooked Moroccan dishes served under the stars by the campfire. The camel ride at sunset through the golden dunes was magical, and the Berber music around the fire at night created memories we’ll never forget. What really sets this place apart is the team. They treated us like family, always checking if we needed anything and sharing their culture with pride. We felt safe, relaxed, and completely disconnected from the noise of the world. If you’re looking for a peaceful, authentic, and luxurious desert experience—this is the place. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Merzouga!

Gate it's opened and restaured

You Cant see it properly. There are like 10 police cars stationed in front and next to it it's like a construction site. The Medina also, such a mess.

The most beatifull door in Morocco the Lahdim square make it "grandiose".

A memorial monument of ismailian city meknes, where various people show off their talents (singers, comedians, musiciens...)

The square was empty, nothing was going on. A walked through the souk on the left-hand side of the square and visited the Dar Jamai - National Museun of Music, located at the square's back wall. There was nothing exciting for me, but others may find it fascinating. However, when you turn around, you'll see the Bab El Mansour Lellej - famous gate.

Lahdim Square in Meknes is a perfect for soaking in local culture. The square is filled with street vendors, cafes, and shops, offering a variety of goods and local foods. It's a great spot to relax and watch the lively activities around. The architecture and atmosphere provide a charming glimpse into the heart of Meknes.

Crowded but beautiful view of the restored city gate

The gate is very nice, freshly renovated. There is plenty of snack bars right across the street at the square. Reasonably priced, speed of the service quite vary (we left one not being served, whilst just the next one was really quick). The local market is just a step from here, very ‘local’ one-worth to see.

The castle grounds cover a very large area. To explore most expect a lot of walking. It is worth seeing!!

The square is an interesting point in central part of old Meknes. Part of it was under renovation, but I was able to walk around the market and it was quite interesting.

Beautiful mausoleum with intricate carvings. It's free to enter, but it wasn't too busy. You need to take off your shoes to enter the burial chamber.

A must see when you visit Meknes. They are closed during lunchtime, reopening around 3pm (when we visited it was 3.05-ish…). Not that much to see in the courtyards leading to the Mausoleum, but the Mausoleum is really spiritual. Leave your shoes outside and sit on a carpet and let the room inspire you.

Great place! It is not only important for religion, but also for Alawite dynasty. There is no entrance fee, but it is nice to leave some money for the conservation of the site to immam (having custody over the mausoleum).Modest dress is required (for men and women). To enter the last part you habe to take your shoes off and leave themnoutside. It is closed from 12h00 to 15h00.

As a non Muslim I visited on a Friday, and was told no entrance until after 3pm. I'm not sure whether this restricted viewing applies everyday. The gate, entrance and the whole area I beautiful

It is one of the few buildings of this type accessible to non muslims as well. Entry is free.

Most beautiful application of Zellige I've seen in Morocco. Meknes, in general, really reflects the traditional Moroccan spirit, and this is where it peaks.

Beautiful architecture, well worth seeing. Open to non-Muslims. It doesn't take long to see the entire complex, can be done in 20 mins. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the interior rooms and courtyards are among the most striking I've visited in Morocco. Don't skip the mausoleum when you visit Meknes! Be aware that it is closed between 12pm and 3pm. Free admission.

Once my girlfriend and I arrived at the main entrance while visiting the city, we saw a very tall guy sitting halfway across the entrance. He asked us if we were interested in visiting, and we said “yes, of course.” Google Maps showed the place as open, so nothing seemed suspicious, right? Wrong. As soon as we entered the building, he closed the door, and we suddenly found ourselves locked inside. It immediately felt strange. When we asked him why he closed the door, he said it wasn’t locked. We also asked if there was an entrance fee, and he said it was free. We started looking around and quickly noticed it was actually a construction site—we realized we weren’t supposed to be there. The guy then began to “guide us around,” which we went along with because it seemed safer to keep things calm rather than risk making him angry for questioning the obvious: he was scamming people and indirectly forcing them to take a “tour” so he could demand money afterward—200 MAD, which we managed to negotiate down to 120 MAD, yay. I know many people might think we were incredibly naïve, but for those humble enough to take advice: please be careful. Long story short, we got scammed, but we’re fine, and the building is actually quite nice <3 I reported the incorrect opening hours on Google Maps. I hope they update them soon, and I hope this review helps other tourists avoid the same trap.

It's a must see in Meknes! Amazing mosaics, decorative stucco, wooden cedar wood ceilings and fantastic view from the terrace. It's very well preserved and it gives you the feeling that it wasn't very long ago the last time that it was in use. It has 26 rooms cells each hosted two students so 52 in total. The students were confined in this room during all the revisions of the Holy Koraan with only water, bread and olives as a meal.

beautiful interior (a little bit aged and cracks on tiles could be spotted), good rooftop view. There are small rooms on the top floor that you can overlook at the courtyard. there’s a room at the end of the corridor at the second floor that can look at the market.

Inside the Madrasa was beautiful. The small details in the wood and stone is stunning. The rooftop also provided an amazing view of Meknès. Tickets for adults are 60 Durham, free entry for Moroccans. Some of the walls in the classrooms and living quarters could use refurbishing. Overall, seeing Madrasa Bou Inania was a cool experience.

I’m giving it four stars because it’s pretty... €6 to get in No info given Old man with no teeth can only say “I don’t understand” in French... not much else. Felt frustrated at the lack of renovation, no information. It seems to be a thing here in Morocco. Rip non Moroccans off...

Really pretty madrasa but to be honest the entrance is quite expensive. 6 euros.

relax on the rooftop above the medina! 60dh entrance fee might be used to renovate this beautiful Place. Really chillling

It's a huge historical place and it's worth seeing it for only 10dh. You can also buy tour, but they are more expensive. I recommend seeing it if you are in town.

Like other monuments I visited in Morroco it's almost impossible to understand how it was used when active because there are no explanations at all inside and unless you want to pay to a "guide" on top of the entrance ticket you won't understand much of it. The entrance is 70MAD and 10 min are more than enough to visit it.

Grandiose place especially when you learn that more than 12,000 horses used to be kept there. You'll appreciate the thickness of the walls and the ever present cat.

Closed for long term renovations. It will be great to see when they have finished this huge project.

Impressive granaries, stables (12k horses) and water basin of Moulay Ismail with original ceder wood doors. Catch a taxi or calèche from the mausoleum

You can visit the stables where thousands of Moulay Ismail horses were kept. This powerful sultan transformed the city of Meknes into an imperial capital and you can appreciate the grandiosity and power of this 17th century sultan.

Highly recommended! This is truly a hidden gem in Morocco. Breath-taking ruins that will blow your mind away.

Can’t praise this place enough. Great staff, speak English, French and Darija. Rooms are great, showers, baths, stocked with shower/bath gels, soap etc. Very clean rooms, room cleaned everyday if needed, just ask reception and they’ll have it done. WiFi is very good and speeds are surprisingly fast also. Can’t complain much as this is my 3rd stay here, so I might seem slightly biased but haven’t had a single issue in 3 stays

There is nothing good about this hotel - the location is extremely remote, the rooms very dirty and the breakfast below basic. Definitely not recommended!

Arrived as part of a tour group late, so literally just slept and had breakfast. Room was functional, shower not great but water was hot. Breakfast started late, they wouldn't even give out coffee whilst we waited...15 mins later it was a mob scene as everyone tried to eat all at the same time - some of the bread was still warm so that was nice.

Far from restaurants, service in hotel very basic, no coffee facility in room

Nice and clean hotel with a decent shower. Excellent service. Everything a 3 start hotel promises.

Very happy with my 1 night stay here. It's a 10 minute walk from Meknes station (2 minute taxi ride). Nice and spacious rooms with private terrace - we didn't have chairs or table on it though. Very friendly and helpful staff. We arrived late at night and they were happy to wait with us outside in the cold for some time to hail a taxi to get food in the city centre. Rooms are clean and modern with aircon, TV and bath products.

No hot water for the shower which is unacceptable. Very basic. Avoid.

I shamefully admit that the exhibition of Moroccan musical instruments wasn’t entirely my thing, but worth seeing just for the beautiful building. Entry tickets are Dhs 30 and they have clean toilets.

First time visiting the Traditional Music Museum Dar Jamai in Meknes even though I was born and raised here! Sometimes we forget to explore the beauty in our own hometown. The architecture, the instruments, the history… everything was so beautiful and inspiring. Proud of my city 🖤

A lovely museum offering great insights to the musical history and traditions. Beautifully designed in an older style private mansion the gardens are beautiful and the artworks are displayed so each piece can be explained. Located next to the main market square there are plenty of experiences to explore during the visit. Enjoy

Great museum in the central square of Meknes. A wonderful place to escape the noise and hustle of the square. Beautiful garden and an interesting presentation of history - various traditional costumes, instruments, and an interactive section. A bonus is the architecture, which is in a typical Moroccan style. Definitely worth a visit!

One of the best cultural museums you’ll go to. Amazingly beautiful historic building, visual and audio exhibits, and lovely garden in the centre. There are so many descriptions about instruments from all o er Morocco and the many different groups of people that make up the diverse population. Only 30 dirhams to enter!

Absolutely fantastic museum, much better than we thought it would be. They have rooms with videos of all the different musical styles from Morocco. And the building itself is more than worth the price of entry which is only €3. We're so glad we came here. It was great!

National Museum of Music: a really amazing museum teaching about local music, using all kinds of media. Instrument exhibitions, sound samples, many videos. Overall a really amazing and immersive experience! The building itself is also really beautiful. I spent 1 1/2 hours there. Entry for tourists is 30 MAD.

The intricate Bab El-Khemis is one of the major gates leading into the Old Town of Meknes. It dates back to the 17th century.

An antique gate located at the heart of Meknes, currently under restoration.

Like most monuments in meknes, it was under construction…. the view was not as covered as the other monuments so you could still see a bit of the architecture despite the ugly wooden beams from the construction work

Super

Bab Lakhmis is an imposing gate that used to be the Western entrance of the city of the Amber Garden -Madinat Ar-Riad Al Anbari, built in the 17th century by order of Moulay Ismail. In those times, it was a beautiful city, but sadly, it was destroyed less than a century after by Moulay Abdellah, Moulay Ismail's successor. Today, only ruins remain, yet the Bab Lakhmis gate is wonderfully preserved. The Bab Lakhmis gate is decorated with bright colors, friezes with interlaced patterns and Kufic writings. For instance, you can read these sentences: “I am the gate open to every people, whether Occidental or Oriental” and “I am the joyful gate of the same splendor as the full-moon in the sky. I was built by Moulay Ismail. Fortune and prosperity are engraved in my frontage, I am surrounded by bliss” translate the sultan's ambition and open-mindedness. The gate is framed with massive walls and two crenelated towers. A little advice from Hertz Morocco: rent an inexpensive car to discover the region of Fez and the Medina of Meknes where you can admire the infamous Bab Lakhmis gate. Bab Lakhmis is a majestic gate built in the 17th century in Meknes, not far from Fez. To admire this historic site and visit Morocco easily, think about renting a car. Area map: Bab Lakhmis gate in Meknes To go there: car rental Fez or car rental Fez airport (Hertz Morocco Fez car rental agencies).

Colourful historic gate.

Beautiful and perfect for great pictures. Horses, ostriches, snakes, singers, merch alot to see

Nice place to take a (short) look and a few nice pictures. A guide will immediately show up to give you a tour, but that's a waste of money from my point of view.

A place where you can touch the past and to learn some historical stories

Great !

A little expensive for what you can see. 70,- per person

Walked all the way there, my google maps said it was open at 3:00pm, they didn't even put a sign that it was closed, thank you for making me walk so much in the hot sun, also half of Meknes is under renovation, feel so terrible I think I will never come here again.

At 17th century the SULTAN ISMAEL built this very impressive granary where he stocked cereals for 30 years ; enough for 30 year food security and used the FIFO : first in first out.

A beautiful place to visit. Used as place to stock food and put horses in it. It is near the Souani water tank

We had a fantastic birthday luncheon for my friends 40th birthday. In addition to the lovely wine and multi-course luncheon, the staff sang happy birthday and had a cake made for her. Very easy to correspond with them via email and WhatsApp and we had an amazing experience. Highly recommend

We had a great time with Osama/Adam :) where he fit us in just before a large group arrived at noon. Not only did we learn about traditional ways of making wine, we had so many fun conversations about family, culture, religion, education and travel. We had a very generous plate of goat cheese and a taste of four of their wines. Unfortunately I had to drive the car, if not we would have stayed and kept enjoying those tasty bottles for longer. All while petting the house dogs and cats who were chilling with us in the back garden.

Amazing tour & tasting with Mohammad. Food and pairings were perfect. Even got see olives being crushed in addition to wine production. We are from near Napa Valley CA & this was like tasting there! Relaxing and fun and totally unexpected!

Lovely setting for tour of winery and tasting. We stopped on drive from Rabat to Fez. Cost was $35 per person for tour and tasting.

Fantastic experience. Thank you to Mohamed for sharing your knowledge, passion and the Domaine de la Zouina's delicious wines and peppery olive oil. Such a beautiful place to visit, paired with lovely people who care for their vines and are creating outstanding olive oil and wines. Highly recommend for lunch and tastings if you are in the Fes or Meknes region. Shukran guys!

It doesn’t get any better than this! The wine pairing lunch was incredible! Can’t wait to return!

If you have extra time in Meknes or Fes, I strongly recommend a tasting and tour of Villa Volubilia. Mohammed was an excellent guide, incredibly knowledgeable, and kind enough to join us for conversation and to get to know us. Visiting Villa Volubilia has been one of the best winery experiences, and a great look into Morocco's agriculture sector.

Wonderful view and vibe with solid food and lovely wine, with a few caveats. TL;DR: Worth a stop. The garden and seating areas are one of the best I've ever seen, so it definitely wins there for me. However, the prices are steep, not only compared to Morocco. It is expected that bottle service is pricier than shopping for the same bottle of wine. Nevertheless, you would expect a more reasonable markup from the literal vineyard that produces it. From what the receptionist told us, the building has been built in the last 10-15 years, with the actual vineyard being much older. If you are looking for a historic stay, a riad in or around the medina would be a better choice, while the château is still worth a visit for a good time. I can also quote another reviewer on looking up the prices before arrival, as we felt that the receptionist offered us a suite to make us spend more and insisted until we mentioned that the regular room was still listed on Booking and still told us they were fully booked apart from the suite. The hotel part of things looked quite empty. However, this might've just been an honest error, so make of that what you will.

Beautiful view from restaurant. Overlooking vineyard and swimming pool. Very relaxing and romantic atmosphere. The olive trees are as majestic as ever. God bless this land and everyone touched by it.

This hotel beats most, if not all, 5 star hotels in Morocco. I say this as a person who has travelled to and from Morocco for more than 15 years. You won’t find a better retreat in the land and we hope to come back soon. The service is great, rooms are clean and prepared just for you, the scenery is amazing and you get the feeling that they aim to provide a great experience for their guests. The wifi connection is not the best, and the restaurant wasn’t up to par with the rest of the establishment, but this could easily be overlooked when considering everything else. Staff is very friendly and make you feel at home, and I recommend this for solo travellers, couples and families.

An unforgettable 3 day wellness retreat with Leyna at the serene Château Roslane. Every detail from the setting to the care was pure magic. Grateful for the beauty, the calm, and the soulful experience.❤️

It’s nice and very quiet but the day pass ticket are very expensive

Very luxurious place and good wines. When you arrive you may be a bit confused due to the closed gates, but if you wait someone will open the door and direct you to a parking spot. We had the wine tasting, which they accomodated even though the restaurant was officially closed. The staff was very polite and helpful. We also had some dessert, which was phenomenal too. Only reason this doesn't get 5 stars is the price. They are advertised so it was no surprise, but still quite steep. 450dh for one wine tasting (4 glasses; 1 sparkling, 1 white, 1 red and 1 sweet), 120 per dessert and 60 for a bottle of water. If you are willing to spend a bit more, I can definitely recommend this place.

The place and the wine are average, the price are out of scale, the service is bad but what drives me to write a review is their attitude that is simply not acceptable...this region and these people are very nice make sure you don't waste any time and money at the chateau Roslane

Good

Very good faculty

Awesome..

Okay thank you

Under construction 🏗️🚧. Unprofessional management

The must open the palace for the people to see inside and they should improve the place

It's actually a clean monument that you can access freely

Nice place to relax 😉

Very well
