A huge underground prison where Moulay Ismail allegedly kept prisoners. A little pricey for basically just some empty halls underground.
Qara Prison or Habs Qara, also known as the Prison of the Christian Slaves, is a series of underground vaulted chambers built in the early 18th century in Meknes, Morocco, by order of Sultan Moulay Ismail. Although popularly described as an underground prison that could host thousands of inmates, mostly Europeans captured at sea, most scholars agree that its function was to serve as a vast storage space for the royal complex of the Kasbah of Moulay Ismail.
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.
