Moulay Idriss: The Holy City
Your journey begins with a scenic drive to Moulay Idriss, a picturesque town perched on Mount Zerhoun, offering breathtaking views of Morocco’s countryside. A revered pilgrimage site, Moulay Idriss is known as the resting place of Idris I, the founder of Morocco’s first Islamic dynasty and a descendant of the Prophet Mohammed. While non-Muslims cannot enter the tomb, the charming souks and captivating ambiance make the village a must-visit.
Volubilis: A Window to Ancient Rome
Next, explore the fascinating Roman ruins of Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wander through the triumphal arches, baths, and palaces while marveling at the stunning mosaics depicting Roman mythology. Once a bustling Roman city, Volubilis is one of North Africa’s most well-preserved archeological sites and a highlight of the day trip.
Meknes: The Versailles of Morocco
Your adventure continues in Meknes, an imperial city founded in the 11th century. Known as “The Versailles of Morocco,” Meknes flourished under Sultan Moulay Ismail, who adorned it with lavish palaces and fortifications. Explore the city’s monumental gates, grand battlements, and the Sultan’s Mausoleum. Highlights include:
- The Royal Palace of Dar El Makhzen
- The Royal Stables and Agdal Reservoir
- The fascinating granaries and subterranean prison
Stroll through Meknes’ charming souks, which offer an authentic shopping experience often less crowded and more affordable than Fez.
