his sumptuously decorated mausoleum was built to house the tomb of Sultan Moulay Ismail, who made Meknes his imperial capital in the 17th century. Moulay Ismail is one of Morocco's most famous rulers. It was under his reign that Morocco, as we know it today, came into being, as he managed to take territory back from both the British and Spanish. The tomb's interior is a showcase of the glorious exuberance of Moroccan religious decoration with intricate tilework, stucco decoration, and carved stonework. The actual mosque is not open to non-Muslims, but you can enter the outer parts of the complex and enter the tomb hall itself, which is the major attraction of the building. Take your shoes off on entering, wear modest clothing, and don't forget to tip the guardian. Location: Imperial City district, Meknes

Construit en 1703 et restauré en 1960. Une enfilade de patios bordés de murs aveugles conduit à la cour aux ablutions, entourée d’une colonnade. Le long des murs, court une frise en stuc. La salle du mausolée est séparée en deux parties : l’une profane et l’autre sacrée. A droite se situent les tombeaux royaux : Moulay Ismaïl repose entouré de membres de sa famille. Aux angles de la pièce se dressent quatre horloges comtoises; offertes au sultan par Louis XIV. Sur le mur du fond, l’arbre généalogique des Alaouites est déroulée à l’horizontale. A gauche, une salle merveilleusement ornée fait office d’antichambre. Une délicate fontaine de marbre dans un bassin en forme de sceau de Salomon occupe le centre de la pièce. Admirez le plafond en bois de cèdre, datant du 17ème siècle.
