Itinerary
After a morning pick up at your hotel in Fez, we will hit the road heading west.
You decide which route we take: the highway, or take the scenic route with opportunities for taking pictures of the Oulad Shaker reservoir and the surrounding rolling countryside dotted with wheat fields, olive groves, fruit trees, and vineyards.
Our first stop will be the ruined Roman city of Volubilis.
French archeologists began excavating Volubilis in the early 20th century, though half of the immense sight still remains beneath centuries of topsoil.
Marvel at the famous sights, like the basilica, the triumphal arc, and the many palaces with their exquisite mosaics. The tour of Volubilis can be done either with or without a local guide.
Next we will make a quick stop in the adjacent small town of Moulay Idriss Zerhoun. During this stop, we will go to a panoramic view point, visit the town center, and get lunch, a snack, or a beverage.
Our last stop will be the mighty walled Imperial City of Meknes.
Meknes’s old city offers a trove of sights for a curious visitor: Moulay Ismail’s massive stables, capacious granary, and cavernous underground prison.
We will also visit Moulay Ismail’s mausoleum (one of the only mosques in Morocco open to tourists), the monumental Mansour Gate, the covered food market, and the El Hidem Square.
Once finished with this busy day of sightseeing, we will take the highway back to Fez.
We will drop you off at your hotel in the late afternoon/evening.
