I visited Meknes 2 weeks ago for a game of golf in the Royal Gardens (9 holes). Can it be compared to Fez? I don't think so. I have now been to Morocco 3 times in the last 2 years and Fes is currently my favorite city Both cities have their charm. However, when Meknes is finished I think I will like to come here again. There were fewer tourists here during my visit.

If Meknes had better leaders and a mayor that doesn't accept bribery, we would be the best city but we are just so overlooked, they give Fes more attention because its more known, the mayor is so greedy and chases money a lot that just the restoration of literally one door and the walls around it (Bab Al' Qazdir) took 4 years. I hope we get better leaders that actually give attention to this city

Better than what ? what did he say ?

You ought to inform yourself a bit when greeting a culture as colorful and profound as Morocco's-I.e., Bab Lakhmiss, which means Thursday, or (The Thursday Gate )and so on, Khamsa also means five and so on. I live in the west but I'm a native of Meknes the land of poets and troubadours and great architecture and on and on..I cannot imagine at all to find --save in the rarest exceptional circumstance- someone from Manhattan come up to me and speak my tongue. But English... which I mastered alone over the years, cannot be ignored if one wants to survive! You see what I mean? in other words, It makes it easier to be aware of some basic communication and linguistic skills to truly understand a culture! For instance you refer to "The Living Theater" taking place in public places as "non-sense", wrong there my friend! it's an age-old tradition not to be dismissed or underestimated, for it surpasses even Shakespeare himself in what we call playwriting, because of direct and spontaneously improvised living THEATER and on and on...Not to mention the glorious Moorish culture that brought enlightenment and scientific discovery to the rest of the world, notably the west as we know it. Exercise caution and respect and learn some Darija, the magnificent and witty Moroccan colloquial language with a combination of eight languages in it alone! Good fortune to you!
