Day Trip From Fes to Meknes and Volubilis

Departure from Fes

Meet your driver at your accommodation and set off in a comfortable, air-conditioned private vehicle through the scenic countryside toward Volubilis.

Roman Ruins of Volubilis

Arrive at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Volubilis, the 2,000-year-old ancient capital of the Kingdom of Mauretania. Guided by a local expert, walk among preserved Roman columns, grand triumph arches, and detailed floor mosaics that reveal the history of this once-thriving outpost.

Sacred Town of Moulay Idriss

Continue to the nearby hilltop town of Moulay Idriss, one of Morocco’s holiest places, where Moulay Idriss I introduced Islam in 789 AD. Wander through its narrow, winding alleyways and soak in the spiritual character and surrounding views.

Lunch & Imperial City of Meknes

Head into Meknes for lunch before exploring the 17th-century imperial city founded by Sultan Moulay Ismail. Admire the grand Bab Mansour gate, explore the historic Medina, visit the quiet Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, and view fine traditional handicrafts at the Museum of Moroccan Art.

Return to Fes

Relax on your private transfer back through the olive groves, finishing with a drop-off directly at your hotel or Riad in Fes.
