The city of Meknes among the 10 “secret places to visit before everyone else”? In any case, that’s what the Smarter Travel site, specializing in travel. If the latter believes that Meknes is often “abandoned” in favor of Marrakech or Fez, he still recognizes certain advantages: “Smaller, but just as full of mazes of winding streets, the city has a host of historical sites such as Bab Mansour, one of the best preserved and imposing gates of the kingdom, as well as the mausoleum of Moulay Ismail. »
The imperial city is also “more relaxed and calmer” than Marrakech, observes Smarter Travel, which also sees the historical aspect: “It’s a good introduction to Moroccan culture,” observes the site. “The place is ideally located for a day trip to the Roman ruins of Volubilis,” he writes further. In terms of accommodation, he advises choosing riads, “unique guest houses which give a feeling of immersion in the history and culture” of Morocco.
Among the 10 other “secret places” not to be missed, the Montana National Park (United States), the cities of Alto Adige (Italy), Culebra (Puerto Rico) and Cartagena (Colombia). In short, the list drawn up by Smarter Travel is far from the tourist places usually chosen by other platforms specializing in travel.
