Tour Itinerary

Day Trip: Fes → Volubilis → Meknès → Moulay Idriss → Fes
• Your journey begins early in the morning with a comfortable departure from Fes, traveling through rolling countryside and olive groves that set the tone for a day steeped in history.
• Arrive at Volubilis, Morocco’s most impressive UNESCO-listed Roman ruins, where time seems to stand still. Stroll among grand arches, basilicas, and remarkably preserved mosaics, and imagine life in this ancient Roman outpost overlooking fertile plains.
• Continue to the imperial city of Meknès, once the royal capital of Sultan Moulay Ismail. Stand in awe before the monumental Bab Mansour, one of Morocco’s most iconic gates, then wander the lively medina filled with artisan workshops, spice-scented souks, and historic architecture.
• Pause for a traditional Moroccan lunch at a local restaurant, savoring authentic flavors such as slow-cooked tagine or fragrant couscous in a warm, welcoming setting.
• In the afternoon, visit the sacred town of Moulay Idriss, nestled on twin hills. Walk through its whitewashed lanes and vibrant doorways, and feel the spiritual atmosphere surrounding the Mausoleum of Moulay Idriss I, a revered pilgrimage site.
• If time permits, return to Meknès to explore the Royal Stables (Heri es-Souani), vast granaries, or the Dar Jamai Museum, before enjoying a scenic evening drive back to Fes, reflecting on a day rich in cultural depth and historical wonder.
