Itinerary
Day 1
Explore Meknes, Volubilis, and Moulay Idriss Zerhoun
Your historical adventure begins at 10:00 AM with a pick-up from your Fez accommodation. The first stop is the holy town of Moulay Idriss, perched dramatically on Mount Zerhoun, where you can explore charming souks and learn about the founder of the Idrisid dynasty. Next, a short drive brings you to the UNESCO site of Volubilis to wander through ancient palaces, Roman baths, and mythical mosaics. By afternoon, you arrive in the Imperial City of Meknes. Here, you’ll discover its 45 km of defensive walls, the magnificent Bab Mansour gate, and the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail. You’ll also visit the Royal Stables and the Agdal reservoir before having free time to enjoy the city's old-fashioned charm and varied souks.
