Bab El Mansour Laalej

One of the most beautiful gates in Morocco Bab Mansour is an absolute masterpiece and one of the highlights of Meknès. The gate’s impressive scale, detailed zellij tilework, and harmonious arches reflect the grandeur of Morocco’s imperial history. Standing in front of it, you truly feel the power and elegance of the past. Located at the entrance of the old medina near El Hedim Square, Bab Mansour is especially beautiful in the late afternoon and evening light, when its colors and details stand out even more. It’s a perfect spot for photos and a great place to experience the lively atmosphere of Meknès. A must-visit landmark for anyone exploring Morocco’s imperial cities — historic, majestic, and unforgettable.

Next, we were brought to Bab el Mansur – the Gate of Victory. Completed in 1732 by the son of Sultan Moulay Ismail – Moulay Abdallah, it served as the main gate to the imperial city... For the full details of our 5 months Round The World RTW travels, visit 2bearbear today!

The newly refurbished gates are the very best in Morocco. Across from the gates are a line of local eateries that are awesome to sip tea and take in every detail of the gates as time flows

Still under construction, but you can get a good glimpse of its glory. It will be fabulous when finished.

5 Stars – An Unforgettable Desert Experience! Staying at Merzouga Paradise Luxury Camp was truly the highlight of our trip to Morocco! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality. The tents were spotless, beautifully decorated, and surprisingly comfortable—with real beds, private bathrooms, and even hot showers! The food was absolutely delicious—freshly cooked Moroccan dishes served under the stars by the campfire. The camel ride at sunset through the golden dunes was magical, and the Berber music around the fire at night created memories we’ll never forget. What really sets this place apart is the team. They treated us like family, always checking if we needed anything and sharing their culture with pride. We felt safe, relaxed, and completely disconnected from the noise of the world. If you’re looking for a peaceful, authentic, and luxurious desert experience—this is the place. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Merzouga!
