Introduction
Meknes is a historical city founded on the Saîs Plain by the Meknsa Tribe (a berber tribe) in the tenth century. It is famous for being the first capital of the Alaouite Dynasty which is Morocco's current royal family. Its 40 kilometres of ramparts and beautiful gates have earned it names like Little Paris, Versaille of North Africa and City of Beautiful Gates.
It contains many monuments dating back hundreds of years.
