Meknes, were it not for its proximity to Fes, would be a highlight of Morocco. As it is, it tends to be overshadowed by its larger neighbor to the east. Meknes is, like Fes, a former capital of Morocco, although at a much later point in its history. Within a great system of triple walls - 25 miles in length - it is especially noted for its beautiful gates ("Bab" in Arabic)- considered to be among the most beautiful gates - and among the best preserved - in the Islamic world. Not to be missed among its many monuments - many built from columns and capitals plundered from nearby Volubulis - are Imperial the Stables and the Tomb of Moulay Ismail (the sultan responsible for turning Meknes into a Royal City), an active shrine to which women flock from all over Morocco to ask for his blessing or barakha.
