Boufakrane (en tamazight ⴱⵓⴼⴰⴽⵔⴰⵏ, en arabe : بوفكران) est une ville du Maroc. Elle est située dans la préfecture de Meknès, en région de Fès-Meknès. Lors de la lutte pour l'indépendance le détournement de Oued Boufekrane dans les années 1930 pour irriguer les exploitations détenues par les colons provoqua de graves émeutes qui firent plusieurs dizaines de morts chez les paysans pénalisés par ce détournement.

The Heri es-Swani or Heri es-Souani, sometimes also transliterated as Hury as-Swani or Hri Swani, is a historic monument in Meknes, Morocco. It was a massive structure that served as a granary or silo for the Imperial Kasbah built by Moulay Isma'il during his reign from 1672 to 1727. It was part of a larger compound of facilities which also included the attached House of the Ten Norias, which provided water for the palaces, and a large water basin nearby known as the Sahrij Swani or Agdal Basin. The name "Heri es-Swani" often applies to both the House of the Ten Norias and the silos, which are connected to each other and visited as a single attraction by tourists today. In popular usage the silos are often misidentified as the "Royal Stables", but those stables were in fact a different structure that existed further south.
