Meknes is the home town of my parents and grand-parents. My origins are back in this city despite the fact that I was born and raised in Casablanca, I never forget my roots… I visit this city several times a year to see my grand-parents to check over their health and lifestyle and also the evolution of the city itself. I’m here right now and the temperature is +32°…

Meknes is located in the Middle Atlas region of Morocco and is just few kilometres away from Fez. Meknes is an imperial city and has a lot of historical monuments to offer such as Bab Mansour (bab=gate, as pictured) and 27 other gates around the city, the Old Town (Medina) and Place Hedim the main square of the city with a vibrant nightlife and some entertainment for locals or visitors. Meknes is also the nearest city to the Roman ruins of Volubilis or well-known as Oualili (this is my last name by the way, a proof of my ancestral roots in the region! :P).
