12/24.- Meknes, Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, door

Although the Mausoleum is a rather small place, there are many things that will call your attention. Take a look at that inscriptions around the door. I am not sure here, because I do not know Arabic, but most of the times these writings are passages of the Koran.

Some restaurants and hotels in the most visited areas speak other languages, but in less popular places locals will only understand you if you speak French (or Arabic). Remember Meknes is not a tourist city. The best option is bringing a French Phrase book -- you can also try with an Arabic Phrase book if you dare --. You can also try learning some basic words in either of the mentioned languages.
