We depart from Fez at 9 a.m. and drive to the imperial city of Meknes. Here we will explore the town including the expansive souks, the unique historical sites and many others. Moulay Ismail made Meknes the capital city of Morocco during his reign around 1700.

Meknes is a city in northern Morocco and the third largest city of the kingdom.

Meknes was the capital of Morocco under the reign of Moulay Ismail (1672–1727), before it was relocated to Marrakech. The urban population is estimated at 650,000 with the metropolitan population close to 1,000,000. It is the capital of the Meknes-Tafilalet region.

Meknes has a Mediterranean climate with continental influences. Its climate is similar to the one in Sevilla. The temperatures shifts from cool and cold in winter to hot days in the summer months of June–September.
