Embark on a full-day journey from Fez to discover one of Morocco’s four imperial cities and the remnants of the ancient capital of the kingdom of Mauretania.
Begin with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Fez, followed by a comfortable transfer in an air-conditioned vehicle to the remarkable Roman ruins of Volubilis. Marvel at the 2,000-year-old archaeological site, where intricate mosaics and grand structures tell the story of a once-thriving Roman settlement.
Next, visit Moulay Idriss, one of Morocco’s holiest cities. Wander through the narrow streets of this compact town, where Moulay Idriss I introduced Islam to Morocco in 789 AD. The town’s spiritual significance and charming architecture make it a must-see destination.
Continue your journey to Meknes, a city founded in the 11th century by the Almoravids as a military stronghold. Step into the historic Medina and admire the impressive city gates and the exquisite Spanish-Moorish architectural details.
Explore the city walls and visit the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, the founder of the Alaouite dynasty and the visionary sultan who made Meknes the capital of Morocco. Conclude your tour with a visit to the Museum of Moroccan Art, home to a stunning collection of traditional handicrafts.
As your day concludes, relax on the afternoon transfer back to Fez, enriched by the history, culture, and beauty you’ve experienced.
