Hri Souani : One of the prestigious Historic Monuments of Meknes, located about 500 m south of the Royal Palace and the place Mechouar, it dates from the time of Moulay Ismail in the early eighteenth century.

Then we will going to shift to the mausoleum of Moulay Ismail.
For more information, non-Muslims were granted permission to visit such area.
The erection of this mausoleum dated back to 1703, presenting a lovely cedar painted ceiling mosaics with figment Koranic scriptures.
Afterwards we will have a short visit to Place EL Hidem (square of Ruins) which adjoins the medina and the Kasabah.
The square is sequenced to updated residential buildings and a covered food souk (market).
Among the most awe-inspiring elements of this imperial city is the grand gate named after the designer El- mansour, a Christian apostate who adapted Islam.
Now we will go through the jubilant archway.
Standing at sixteen meters high with an eight- meter long arch, the mysteriously patterned triumphal arch is argued to be the most charming in Morocco.
The style of the gate plays with Almohad patterns. It has zellij mosaics of outstanding quality.
