Riad Safir

Meknes

A medina riad steps from Place el-Hedim and the Dar Jamai Museum, with a terrace.

Meknes was the 17th-century capital of Moulay Ismail, who built miles of walls, palaces and stables for 12,000 horses. Its monumental Bab Mansour gate faces the lively Place el-Hedim, and the medina is relaxed and easy to explore. The Roman ruins of Volubilis and the holy town of Moulay Idriss are a short drive away, as are the vineyards of the Guerrouane region.

Where to stay

The boutique choice is limited to a few traditional riads in the medina; many travelers visit on a day trip from Fes.

Good to know

Meknes is about 40 minutes by train from Fes. Spring is the best season for combining the city with Volubilis.
