MEKNES. Of the 3 imperial cities, Meknes is probably the less visited/famous. To be honest, I agree with this ranking, although I also believe that Meknes is definitively worth a visit. The area surrounding the city is very fertile and heavily cultivated. As with other large cities in Morocco, Meknes suffers from too many people from the countryside trying to find a job in this town, and ending up living a hard life. The old city is quite large. The area with the souqs was my favourite, although we made the mistake of entering the shop of a carpet seller and only managed to leave after we had bought a small carpet! The carpet is nice and still in good shape after 5 years, but I suspect we had been overcharged.
