Discover Morocco's imperial and Roman history on this Volubilis & Meknes Day Tour from Fes with iMoroccan Tours. Visit the impressive Roman ruins of Volubilis, explore the imperial city of Meknes with its monumental gates and royal stables, and stop at the holy hillside town of Moulay Idriss Zerhoun — all in one fascinating day.
Depart Fes in the morning and drive to Meknes, one of Morocco's four imperial cities. Visit the monumental Bab Mansour gate, the Royal Stables and granaries of Heri es-Souani, and wander through the historic Medina. Continue to the archaeological site of Volubilis, a remarkably well-preserved Roman city with stunning mosaics, columns, and triumphal arches set among the fertile plains. On the way back, stop at Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, a picturesque hillside town considered one of the holiest places in Morocco, for panoramic views before returning to Fes in the late afternoon.
