Fes to Volubilis Meknes Day Trip : Itinerary
Fes to Volubilis Moulay Idriss Zerhoun Meknes Day Trip
A gentle cultural journey through history, spirituality, and imperial Morocco
Your day begins with a warm pick up from your riad or hotel in Fes. Your friendly driver from Morocco Desert Safari welcomes you with a smile and begins the journey through peaceful countryside. As we leave the city behind, the landscapes become softer olive trees, green fields, and quiet villages waking up under the morning light. It is a calm and beautiful drive that prepares you for a day full of history and culture.
Our first stop is the ancient Roman city of Volubilis, one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Morocco. Here, time feels slow and the air is peaceful. You walk gently among tall Roman columns, beautifully preserved mosaic floors, old temples, archways, and the remains of villas that once belonged to wealthy families. The place is open and quiet, surrounded by nature, giving you space to take photos, explore at your own rhythm, and feel the deep history beneath your feet. If you wish, we can arrange a local guide to share stories, legends, and hidden details about this thousand-year-old city.
A short drive brings us to Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, a sacred town resting across two green hills. This village is one of the most spiritual places in Morocco, where many locals make pilgrimages each year. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming white houses with green rooftops, narrow paths full of simplicity, children playing, and fresh mountain air that feels refreshing after the open plains of Volubilis. From its viewpoints, the land stretches beautifully in all directions, offering peaceful moments to breathe, take photos, and enjoy the silence of the hills.
In the afternoon, we reach the elegant imperial city of Meknes. Your driver leaves you near the medina so you can explore freely at your own pace. Meknes is calm and less crowded than the larger imperial cities, making it perfect for relaxed walking. You may visit the grand Bab Mansour Gate, wander through El Hedim Square, explore artisan markets in the old medina, or walk through historic streets full of charm. If you wish, you can also visit the Royal Stables, an impressive example of Moroccan architecture and royal history.
After your visit, we return to Fes with the same gentle pace that carried us through the day. The drive back is peaceful, giving you time to reflect on everything you experienced ancient ruins, mountain villages, and the quiet beauty of Meknes. Your driver drops you safely at your riad or hotel, ending a day full of culture, landscapes, and the warm soul of Morocco.
