For a medina lacking any great number of sights, those that Meknes offers visitors are up there with the best in the country. Located relatively close to each other, they make for at least a pleasant morning's walk. In addition to these sights, however, it is very much the Meknassis themselves that make exploring their walled city so pleasurable. The hassle from guides and shopkeepers is minimal here, especially when compared to Fes. As in the rest of Morocco, take some time out to sit in a cafe and observe the relatively relaxed everyday life in Meknes, preferably over a mint tea, said to be the best in the country.
