| Full
of life day and night. By the serpent charmer at the fortune tellers
passing by the species sellers, the fresh extracted orange juice
without forgetting the mysterious women who tattoo you with henna....
this place, rich by animations, is magical by the multiplicity of
senses which it develops: smell, sound, colours... You will taste some
local specialty; sensible stomach has to be a bit careful, he must have
the habit!!! | Open all days from 9:00am to 22:00pm. Caution! On Friday afternoon many shops are closed.
It
is very big and we think ourselves to be in a big labyrinth. You have
to visit all the parts of this big souk. That of dampers practically
change colours each day. The neibourhhood of forgers, the souk El Kelin

Cross
the big walls of the Palace El Badii the "the incomparable Palace»
built at the end of the XVI th century between 1578 and 1603 by Ahmed
El Mansour. Jealous, Moulay Ismaïl destroys it and transferred the
materials (gold, onyx and marble from Italy) in his residences in
Meknes. Now it is no more but a vast esplanade with orange planted
pools surrounded by high walls on top of which nests the storks. But
the visit is still astonishing!
