Royal stables, Meknes, Morocco
Story
Walk into the vast vaulted granaries and stables of Moulay Ismail — dim chambers whose scale alone tells you how an army was fed and watered. For travellers who like their monuments colossal and half-reclaimed by time. Earthquake damage is real and the original extent debated; treat any "thousands of horses" figure as legend.

- Meknes Power, Water and Music in Two Days
Meknes makes more sense when imperial scale is followed by intimate sound. Day one traces public authority from a monumental gate and ceremonial square to the granary-and-water infrastructure of the royal city; day two enters Dar Jamaï, where a palace interior now frames the diversity of Moroccan music. A final market-edge pause returns that national collection to living urban rhythm.

El Gour Megalithic Site is a archaeological site in Fes-Meknes, best approached from Meknes. Its value comes from an under-known megalithic and archaeological setting near Meknes.
