Morocco has four imperial cities and one of which is Meknes. Meknes Morocco is the smallest city of Morocco and divided into the New Town which is now Ville Nouvelle and Old Town or the medina.

From the medina, Ville Nouvelle can be a 20 to 30 minutes walk or you can take a taxi cab.

Being in Meknes, you should not fail to check these interesting spots: the landmarks of Moulay Ismail in the South East, the narrow street shops or souqs in the North of medina, and the home of the Mellah which is a Jewish quarter in the South West.
