PALAIS EL BADI
Go there and contact
Once a symbol of splendour where gold flowed freely, the El Badi palace now only houses storks which are the masters of the place.
El Badi, the Incomparable, was created to commemorate the defeat of the Portuguese in the Battle of the Three Kings. In 1578, Ahmed le Doré spared neither expense nor time to complete the project: he called upon the best Spanish craftsmen and destined El Badi for royal celebrations. In 1672, the Alawite sovereign Moulay Ismaïl dismantled the palace to enrich the residences of Meknes. Being only ruins, it is necessary to immerse oneself in history and to concentrate on the immense courtyard to imagine the 360 rooms of the palace in its former splendor.

un nouveau musée en souterrain en 2016.
L'ambiance y est unique, plus aucun bruit, juste les cigognes
Prenez le bon ticket à l'entrée, c'est à dire celui qui vous permettra de visiter en plus l'ancien minbar de la Mosquée de la Koutoubia, une chaire datant du XIIe siècle, en bois sculpté et marqueté d'or et d'argent et d' ivoire
Très accessible depuis Riad Dar Zaynab par la Place des Ferblantiers.
A ne pas manquer , y compris les sous-sols. Il est devenu le Palais des cigognes car elles sont nombreuses à y avoir élu domicile.
