MEKNES: Place El Hedim (ساحة الهديم) + Bab Mansour + Dar Jamai Museum (Musée Dar Eljamîi)

Introduction to Place El Hedim + Bab Mansour

Bab Mansour is an old gate into the medina of Meknes. It leads to the public square of Place El Hedim, where local Moroccans go to buy groceries, meet with friends, and be entertained by performers in the evenings. It’s a great place to people watch and relax.

About

Introduction to Dar Jamai

I always love checking out new museums and Dar Jamai in Meknes is one of Morocco’s best! It was previously a palace, and today houses a museum open to the public. Some of my favorite parts of the museum were the decorated rooms with traditional designs.
