• Meknes Medina - Our Fes to Volubilis Excursion Starts pick up you at your hotel or riad in Fez, the time that would be suited for you. for a 1 hour’s drive west to the Imperial city of Meknes. Driving across the plain you will see vast acreages of vineyards which produce good quality wine, much of which is exported to France. You will have up to three hours in Meknes to explore the town including the expansive souks, the fascinating historical sites and to take lunch. Moulay Ismail made Meknes the capital city of Morocco during his reign around 1700; his mausoleum and the Rouah, his stables for over 12,000 horses, together with Place el-Hedim, the central pedestrian square in the Medina, are well worth a visit. The souks of Meknes are refreshingly spacious compared to Fez, which makes the city a relaxing place to explore.

Meknes to Moulay Idriss Following lunch, we embark on a 30km journey north to the hillside town of Moulay Idriss. Revered as one of the nation’s most significant religious sites, the town is a pilgrimage destination because it is where the tomb of Moulay Idriss, a notable Moroccan saint from the late 8th century and a descendant of the prophet Mohammed, is located.

Access to the green-tiled shrine is somewhat limited, but the multitude of narrow streets leading to viewpoints with incredible vistas of the valley and Volubilis certainly warrant a brief visit.

Moulay Idriss to Volubilis and Fez After leaving Moulay Idriss, it’s a short 4km journey to the World Heritage Site of Volubilis. Here, you’ll find multiple spots ideal for photographing the town. Known for being home to the largest and most well-preserved Roman ruins in Morocco, particularly the stunning mosaic floors, Volubilis offers breathtaking views of the foothills of the Rif Mountains, especially during sunset.
