Day 1: Fes–Meknes–Volubilis Day Trip

MOROCCO TRIP EVENT invites you to discover the rich history and imperial heritage of northern Morocco on this full-day excursion from Fes to Volubilis, Moulay Idriss, and Meknes.

After an early pick-up from your hotel in Fes, travel in comfort in an air-conditioned vehicle toward the ancient Roman city of Volubilis, one of Morocco’s most remarkable archaeological sites and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Once a flourishing Roman settlement, Volubilis gained international fame after appearing in Martin Scorsese’s film The Last Temptation of Christ.

Begin your visit by exploring the impressive Roman ruins, celebrated for their well-preserved mosaics and decorative tile floors illustrating scenes of Roman mythology. Spread across vast grounds, the site features remains of ancient walls, grand villas, towering columns, the Capitol, the Basilica, and a majestic Triumphal Arch.

As you wander through the ruins and surrounding fertile plains, your guide will explain how the Roman Empire transformed an earlier Carthaginian settlement into a thriving Roman city, exporting valuable goods such as olive oil and grain to Rome.

Continue your journey to Moulay Idriss, one of Morocco’s holiest towns. Walk through its narrow streets and learn about its spiritual importance, as this is where Islam was introduced to Morocco in 789 AD by Moulay Idriss I.

The tour then proceeds to the Imperial City of Meknes, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Discover the magnificent Bab Mansour, considered among the most beautiful gates in Morocco. Visit El Heri es-Souani, the monumental royal granaries and stables built under Sultan Moulay Ismail, featuring massive vaulted structures and an ingenious water system supplied from the Middle Atlas Mountains.

Explore the Moulay Ismail Mausoleum, one of the rare religious monuments open to non-Muslims, and enjoy time at Place El Hedim, the vibrant heart of Meknes. You may also pass by the Royal Horse Stables (Haras), renowned for breeding noble Arabo-Berber horses.

In the late afternoon, MOROCCO TRIP EVENT will escort you back to Fes, concluding a memorable day filled with history, culture, and unforgettable experiences.
