Itinerary

  • Meknes Medina

    The day begins after breakfast when we collect you from your hotel or riad in Fes at 10 am, (though Fes Desert Trips are flexible enough to meet you at another time if more convenient, just tell us what best suits you!) It's not a long trip to drive first to holy Moulay Idriss, a pretty place balanced precariously on the edge of Mount Zerhon with dramatic views across the beautiful Moroccan countryside including Volubilis. This is a place of pilgrimage for Muslims, as it is believed that those who cannot afford to go on the Hajj in Mecca can visit Moulay Idriss five times during their lifetime to achieve equal status. The village itself is beautiful with lots of charming souks to visit, though only Muslims are permitted to enter the tomb of Idris I of the Idrisid dynasty. he ruled from only 788 to 791 AD but his dynasty is credited with converting Morocco to Islam and he was the great-great-great grandson of Islam's Prophet Mohammed. Next is a short drive to the Roman ruins of Volubilis, called Ouallili meaning laurel flower in the Berber language, and here one is free to explore the well-preserved remains of the town, the Triumphal arch, baths, palaces and especially many beautiful mozaics of classical themes from Roman mythology. As one of the most important Roman sites in North Africa, Volubilis has UNESCO World Heritage Status. It is Volubilis that makes Meknes such a popular destination for tourists and is one of Morocco's 'must see' attractions. Then it's on to the Imperial city of Meknes founded as a military camp in the 11th century but now known as "the Versaille of Morocco", due to it's lavish design, created to mimic the royal palaces of Paris and Arabia during the 17th century by the Sultan Moulay Ismail who made it his capital. In it's heyday, Meknes was surrounded by 45 km of wall, in three defensive circles, had twenty city gates and protected over fifty palaces. Here you will see impressive crenulated battlements, gigantic city gates carved with Islamic art and containing Roman marble pillars looted from Volubilis, the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail himself and the royal palace of Dal El Makhzen with it's Royal Stables, the beautiful Agdal reservoir and the nearby granaries and subterranean prison. Meknes has an old-fashioned charm and quaintness, a more relaxed atmosphere than Fes and is surrounded by stunning countryside, olive groves and vineyards. The local souks are recommended for a shopping expedition as they are rich and varied and often much cheaper than Fes. After this, Fes Desert Trips will ensure you are taken back to your accommodation in Fes.

Comfortable and safe private tour

Published on Sep, 2023

Our driver, Ahmed, was very patient, very polite and very helpful. We took private tour, and Ahmed was very helpful and even organised for us extra little tour in Meknes. It was fun and would recommend!

Amazing Tour

Published on Jul, 2023

The driver was timely to pick us up, the excursion was amazing, everything was well organized. We visited Volubilis roman ruins, Moulay Idriss and Meknes, where we have a very nice lunch. Finally, we ask for a favour to drop off us in the airport when the tour finished and they accepted kindly. I highly recommend this tour. Next time, I will repeat with this agency with new tours in Morocco.

Great day trip from the bustle of Fès

Published on Feb, 2023

A fantastic day out from the hustle and bustle of Fès. The driver was courteous and knowledgeable and allowed plenty of time to go at my own pace and spend the time where wanted.

Comfortable & convenient!

Published on Sep, 2022

Our driver, Badr, came to the hotel to pick us up on time, with his car parked right in front and cold bottles of water to welcome us. Throughout the entire journey, he was really friendly and approachable. He speaks good English too so it was really easy to communicate! The itinerary itself was good, and we were able to see everything we wanted to see.

Great Driver to Volubilis/Fez

Published on Jun, 2022

Great driver and car! Pick up as directed and took as much time as we needed. Took us to Volubilis, Fes and Moulay Idriss as well as a lovely place for lunch! Happily would choose again!
