What we offer

DEMOCRATIC CRISIS: Trust in government and other institutions is much lower in Northern Ireland than elsewhere in the UK, with a majority of people feeling that they cannot influence the Northern Ireland Executive or local level decision makers (74% and 60% respectively). Moreover, people in Northern Ireland are the most likely from across the UK to report that they cannot influence decisions affecting the UK as a whole (84% compared to 72% in England, 75% in Wales and 79% in Scotland). These changes also contributed to the relative neglect of the old city. According to the ICOMOS Heritage at Risk report of 2000, the historic city of Meknes contains insufficient drainage systems, and as a result, suffers from inundation and leakage in certain areas. [33] Still, some conservation and restoration efforts have taken place in recent years, motivated in part by the revenues of tourism. [16] :222 As of 2023, a number of major restoration projects were planned or underway, led by ADER-Fès ( Agence pour la Dédensification et la Réhabilitation de la Médina de Fès), a quasi-governmental agency based in Fez. The projects include proposed restorations to the historic city walls, to the Heri es-Swani, and to the Bou Inania Madrasa, along with other improvements to parking and tourism infrastructure.

Heri al-Mansur: One of the last constructions of Moulay Isma'il's reign, built between 1721 and 1725, its name means "Granary/silo of Victory", but it was also known as Dar al-Mansur [22] or Qasr al-Mansur [50] ("Palace of Victory"). It is located on the far southern perimeter of the Kasbah and consists of a massive building which seems to have served as a palace, fortress, and storehouse. The basement was taken up by storage rooms while the upper floor held reception rooms for the palace with views over the surrounding area. Located next to it were the Royal Stables of Moulay Isma'il (often misidentified today with the Heri as-Swani), which were reputed to be one of the palace city's most impressive features. It consisted of horse stalls sheltered under two parallel arcades (rows of arches) which stretched for 1200 meters on either side of a water canal which provided water for the horses. Unfortunately, the stables have not been preserved and very little remains of them today. [20] [23] [24] [26] :396

[44] [40] Meknes ( Arabic: مكناس, romanized: maknās, pronounced [maknaːs]; Berber languages: ⴰⵎⴽⵏⴰⵙ, romanized: amknas; French: Meknès) is one of the four Imperial cities of Morocco, located in northern central Morocco and the sixth largest city by population in the kingdom. Founded in the 11th century by the Almoravids as a military settlement, Meknes became the capital of Morocco under the reign of Sultan Moulay Ismaïl (1672–1727), son of the founder of the Alaouite dynasty. Moulay Ismaïl created a massive imperial palace complex and endowed the city with extensive fortifications and monumental gates. [7] The city recorded a population of 632,079 in the 2014 Moroccan census. [6] It is the seat of Meknès Prefecture and an important economic pole in the region of Fès-Meknès.
