Meknes
Meknes was made the capital by Sultan Moulay Ismail in the 17th century, known as the Louis XIV of Morocco. In this respect Meknes can be compared to Versaille for its grandiose and extravagent monuments laid down for history to judge. The maouseleum of Moulay Ismail is open for non-muslims to view bt not to step inside, this is a concession in itself. The city walls are extensive and enclose a less fearsome medina than at Fez. A highlight of the sights here is the Dar Jamai, a 19th century palace now serving as a museum of Moroccan arts.
