The mausoleum is on the southwest side of the former Dar al-Kebira Palace, between the inner and outer perimeter walls of the palace. The complex was first built in 1703 under Moulay Isma'il and then later expanded multiple times. The original complex was less extensive than it is today and it likely included only the tomb chamber, the adjoining rooms on either side of it, and the main courtyard leading up to it.
The Mausoleum of Moulay Isma'il is a historic Islamic funerary complex in Meknes, Morocco. It contains the tomb of Sultan Moulay Isma'il, who ruled Morocco from 1672 until his death in 1727, and is located inside his former Kasbah (citadel). It is a major historic and religious site in the city.

Small museum in an old mansion.
Redone with new brickwork, this square once rivaled Djemaa el Fna in Marrakech but is now significantly less exciting (though there are a few nice cafés and snack spots in which to people-watch).
The former palace gardens, now converted into a golf course. This place is absolutely marvelous. The gardens are beautifully kept and it is entirely surrounded by palace walls. It is open to the public. There is also a public café on the grounds. It's possible to eat on the terrace overlooking the course but you need to book in advance.
