While Meknès has a bustling ville nouvelle (modern center), you will marvel in the labyrinthine medina (walled city), filling your senses with the goods found in the local souqs (markets). Due to the cultural and historic richness within the walls of the city, Meknès was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1996; one of eight within Morocco. In between classes at the University Moulay Ismail, students can visit the local ISA office to check e-mail, receive tutoring, find out about upcoming local events and ISA group excursions, or simply to chat with the ISA staff, fellow students, and practice Arabic.
