Meknes Travel Guide
Morocco
Meknes is a city in northern Morocco with a population of 632,079. It sits inland, rather than on the coast, so it is primarily a city and cultural base rather than a beach destination.
Travellers arriving by air can use Bassatine Air Base (MEK), the airport serving Meknes. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so coastal trips require travelling farther afield.
