About Bab Mansour
Bab Mansour is the grand monumental gate facing the El Hedim area and one of the most recognizable landmarks of imperial Meknes. Its decorative tilework, proportions and historical context help visitors understand the city’s grand urban design. Most tours include an exterior view and a photo stop rather than guaranteed access through an interior exhibit. Place El Hedim should remain a stop associated with this attraction or the Medina, not a duplicate Place without independent editorial depth.
