Bou Inania Madrasa Meknes
A 14th-century Merinid madrasa adjacent to the Grande Mosquée, built by Sultan Abou Inan Faris — the same sultan who built the Bou Inania in Fes. The Meknes version is smaller and less visited, which means you can stand in its courtyard of carved cedar and zellige without being photographed over someone's shoulder. The quality of the craftsmanship is identical to Fes.
