Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail
Meknès, MAplace
A visit to the final resting place of the sultan who made Meknès his capital in the 17th century should be a rite of passage for those travelling through town. Moulay Ismail’s stature as one of Morocco’s greatest rulers means that non-Muslim visitors are usually welcomed into the sanctuary, but in 2016 the site closed for much-needed restoration work following pressure from Unesco. It was expected to reopen some time in 2018. The tomb hall is a lavish celebration of the best of Moroccan craftsmanship.
