Al-Hadeem Square

Nearby, Uma went to El Hadeem Square to buy the triangle sweets, known as Briouts. These sweets are deep-fried and have a traditional almond filling inside. It was very delicious with a slight almond taste and nice crisp from the fried dough of the outer layer. Not extremely sweet as well...

The square was empty, nothing was going on. A walked through the souk on the left-hand side of the square and visited the Dar Jamai - National Museun of Music, located at the square's back wall. There was nothing exciting for me, but others may find it fascinating. However, when you turn around, you'll see the Bab El Mansour Lellej - famous gate.

A beautiful and lively square in the heart of Meknès! The place is clean, well-kept and full of charm. You’ll find plenty of souvenir shops and a traditional market stretching through the Medina alleys. It's perfect for exploring local crafts and culture. There are also nearby banks, small museums as well as many great spots to take wonderful photos. Bab Mansour, one of the city’s most famous gates, stands just in front of the square, adding even more beauty to the view. A must-visit place for anyone discovering Meknès! Cheers!

The gate is very nice, freshly renovated. There is plenty of snack bars right across the street at the square. Reasonably priced, speed of the service quite vary (we left one not being served, whilst just the next one was really quick). The local market is just a step from here, very ‘local’ one-worth to see.

Crowded but beautiful view of the restored city gate

Lahdim Square in Meknes is a perfect for soaking in local culture. The square is filled with street vendors, cafes, and shops, offering a variety of goods and local foods. It's a great spot to relax and watch the lively activities around. The architecture and atmosphere provide a charming glimpse into the heart of Meknes.

The square is an interesting point in central part of old Meknes. Part of it was under renovation, but I was able to walk around the market and it was quite interesting.

Everything was under construction while we visited the square, also the "Bab El Mansour Laalej" gate was underconstruction. We went into the streets and madina to see, smell and taste the food.
