Thanks for putting into words something I would have difficulty expressing myself and thank you also for a wonderful description of what makes Meknes so special ;) As a foreigner living in Meknes for four years, I really find that your article is amazingly close to giving a true account of the mixed feelings one can have when living here.

Thank you though. I can't wait to go back. Soon, I hope.

His legacy can be seen in Meknes monuments. Ten years ago Meknes was one of the most frightening cities in Morocco because of the high rate of crimes. Now I think it has become a peaceful city. What I think you missed to describe are the people in Meknes, especially your students. Well, I hope your stay in Morocco has enriched your experience. Do come back and see what has or hasn't changed in Morocco as a landscape and as people.
