Things to do in Meknes, Meknes-Tafilalet Region: The Best Tours

January 16, 2022 Chanda Heide

Overlooked by many tourists, Meknes is a bustling modern city of nearly a million in northern Morocco, about 80 miles inland from the capital of Rabat. Local hero Moulay Ismail made Meknes Morocco's hub at the end of the 17th and beginning of the 18th centuries, and his mausoleum is one of the city's main attractions. The Museum of Moroccan Art (housing fascinating jewels and artifacts) and Bab Mansour (the largest and most stunning of the city's gates) are other Meknes sights not to be missed.

Booked a private transfer from Tangier Airport. Driver didn't show up. None of the phone numbers provided in their automated pickup notification worked, all phones turned off. Googled another phone number. Someone picked up, promised to help and never called back. After my 3rd attempt to call them again, they didn't answer their phone as well. Waited for more than 1 hour until i decided to get a local taxi. Not even worth 1* out of 5.

My 80 year-old father and I visited Morocco in February/March, 2019 and hired Hassan for a customized tour for the portion of our trip that took us from Fez to Volubilis, and Meknes. There aren't many tours of Meknes, and my father grew up there, so we were looking for a very specific, non-touristy itinerary for much of our time there. Not only was Hassan an amazing and knowledgeable tour guide, but he assisted in fulfilling my father's dream of revisiting his childhood homes, helping us locate the houses after 35 years and many street name changes. Hassan was very thoughtful of my father's age and quirks, was accommodating, and very personable. We even hired Hassan for a quick tour of Casablanca and Rabat, which we hadn't planned ahead of time. Luckily for us, Hassan made the time to take us to the major attractions there as well. I can't thank Hassan enough for his hospitality, professionalism, and knowledge. He made a trip of a lifetime possible and an old man happy to revisit his youth. I would not hesitate to give Hassan my highest recommendation!

We've just came back from a marvellous trip in Morocco with professional guide Youssef, who made this trip ungovernable. We start from Marrakech to Sahara desert to ride camel and overnight in Berber camp. Then to Fez. This was great thanks to Africa Morocco Tours and Youssef.

We were very lucky, just the two of us to have Mohammed to ourselves. He adapted the entire visit according to our wishes and requests. Nothing was forced on us. Born and raised in Fez, he was able to share stories of life in the town and personal anecdotes. We thoroughly recommend a day trip.
