Heri es-Souani
Heri es-Souani is a historical landmark located in the Moroccan city of Meknes. It consists of three units that are grain stores, also called stables, in addition to the es-Souani basin (Agdal Basin) and Dar al-Ma (Water wheel). This landmark, which is surrounded by high walls and defensive towers, was built in the 18th century AD during the reign of the Alaouite Sultan Ismail Ibn Sharif. It is considered one of the most important tourist destinations in Meknes. Heri es-Souani was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996 as part of Historic City of Meknes.
The site is one of the elements that make up the UNESCO World Heritage site, Historic City of Meknes.
