- Moulay Idriss Zerhoun - A brief drive from Volubilis leads to Moulay Idriss, one of Morocco’s most revered towns. Situated on two hills, this charming village houses the tomb of Moulay Idriss I, the founder of Morocco’s first Islamic dynasty. While non-Muslims cannot enter the mausoleum, visitors can wander through the narrow streets, admire the whitewashed buildings, and enjoy stunning panoramic views from a hilltop vantage point. Moulay Idriss provides a glimpse into traditional Moroccan life, and a short visit of about 30 minutes is sufficient to absorb its tranquil atmosphere.
- Volubilis - The first stop is the ancient Roman city of Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage site dating back to the 3rd century BC. Arriving at 10:00 AM, explore the remarkably preserved ruins, featuring grand arches, intricate mosaics, and remnants of Roman houses, temples, and public buildings. Stroll through the streets once traversed by Roman settlers and delve into the city’s rich history. The Triumphal Arch, Basilica, and Capitol are essential highlights. Spend approximately 1.5 hours uncovering this captivating archaeological site before proceeding with the journey.
- Meknes - The next destination is Meknes, one of Morocco’s four imperial cities, arriving around 12:30 PM. This historic city, renowned for its blend of grand architecture and relaxed charm, was once Morocco’s capital under Sultan Moulay Ismail. Start the visit at Bab Mansour, one of Morocco’s most beautiful gates, famous for its intricate zellij tilework and massive wooden doors. Then, explore Lahdim Square, the heart of Meknes, where you can watch street performers, enjoy Moroccan mint tea, or browse local stalls.
